Thanks everyone. I couldnt be happier. Chrome is excelent. Neil at WCC said this was one of the last packages for the 505A that they were going to sell.......They make their own style and dont offer CCW wheels anymore. Now its time to lower.........

That looks great... are those custom center caps? They don't look like the normal ones on 505As.

They look like the same ones I have, but my wheels are polished aluminum. The caps I believe are chromed plastic. I took some OEM style wheel logos I bought off of Ebay and put them on the caps. They look really good with the Logos.

Hi Brian -

The earlier CCW's came with the domed plastic chromed center caps with the CCW logo on them. They were really cheap looking IMO. Talking to John one day he mentioned that he was working on making billet caps for the wheels.

They eventually did start making machined billet center caps for the wheels and phased out the cheaper plastic ones.

I bought a set of the billet caps for my wheels - they have a CCW logo machined into them - very cool!

I assume that WCC has a special agreement and the caps that ship to them are plain - no CCW logo on them - just guessing there.

BTW - CCW will sell a set of the new caps to owners of the older caps at cost per John.
