Default Ordered CCW's

Finally pulled the trigger last night after trying to get a couple sets on the forum. I ordered SP500's 18x9.5 and 19x11 w/ RE050 tires 275/35 and 305/30. I also got the sensors for an 01. Total shipped was $4115.
I will post up pics when I get them on the car.

Nice.

Looking forward to your pics. Can you get them chromed? Those wheels are alot of work to keep looking nice... Chromed would look awesome.

Congrats
I almost bought the 18"fr-19"r package out of fear of the shorter sidewall required for the 19 on front. I finally decided on 19" all around and I'm glad I did.
I've hit enough road hazards now to be convinced of the strength of these forged wheels.
They are a lot of work to keep them looking new, but I really prefer the slightly weathered look. I wouldn't chrome mine.
Good Luck!

Congrats, I know the excitement you must be feeling. I ordered the same kind and size of tires on some 505's. I just got my UPS shipping number yesterday. Please be sure to post pics when you get yours.

Congrats on the purchase. You are going to love the SP500's. I have the same size rims, but I am running the C6's EMT's on mine.

CCW has top notch customer service. I am looking forward to your pix when they are on the C5!
