Maybe try something different leave the centers polished and get a lemans blue pin stripe or do the entire lip lemans blue, i think that would look sick! imo

Does anyone have any pictures of either? I tried searching on the forum as well as CCW's site but wasn't able to find any..

Thanks,


Good Looking wheels, Dont change them. If you want different centers just buy another set.

New hubs will cost almost as much as whole new wheels.

Paint or powder coat, not worth the time.

There is a reason John called these "Classics" it is THE CLASSIC race wheel design.

Plus I like the CCW Classic so much I have three sets.

One set of Classic Streets; ( with steel inserts for lug holes)



and two sets of Classic Tracks in black: ( shot peen anodized black, swiss, grade 8 with inserts)



Both sets are dirty, sorry guys I am not into cleaning wheels with q-tips

Leave them alone. Polished seam to be more rare or atleast in the FS section. They look great. don't mess with them please. Maybe trade for some black cenetered ones or call CCW and see if they can make spare centers for cheap and just swap them out? thanks mike

New centers aren't cheap, but I think its the move Im going to take.. Ill essentially have a new wheel with them and i like the brushed look, just wish I could find a picture of brushsed classics..
