Default CCW CLassics

I currently have a set of CCW classics that I love, but over the winter I want to change up the look a little bit.. The car is lemans blue and has the high polished centers (pic below)..

Im debating over changing the centers to a clear brushed or black brushed center.. not sure and could use some help..

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,

I would leave it alone the polished looks awesome but you can do a full anodized black setup that looks awesome.

Besides that take off the rear mudflaps. sin to put them on a corvette lol

I like to think of them as rockflaps.. Car has r-compound tires and sprays up more rocks than you'd imagine..

anyone have a picture of a lemans blue/ or EB car with black anodized wheels? im kinda afraid the black wheels won't do a dark blue car justice..

DAMN i wasnt a big fan of polisehed, but they do look good. I say if u r gonna do something stay away from black centers. everyone has been doing this and it is getting a little old. If i were u, try and match up the centers to either a darker shade of gray(charcoal) like the hood strip or a all black look with polished bolts. either way u cant lose....

i thought about that, as well as doing all black with a blue lip but i can pickup the brushed centers without much of a problem, plus if i ever want to sell the wheels, my market with the lemans blue center or pinstriped lip will be limited..

I have full polished Classics on torch red Z. My opinion is to leave them as is. Everyone else is doing something, black, etc., to their centers. It's starting to look rice. All I ever get is positive comments on my wheels.

LOL, be careful you might have offended others. Bottom line, do what you want don't let anyone else tell you other wise.

I got black centers on mine too.... i just think a charcoal color centers on his car would look much nicer since he has the CE stripes. it will match the silver , red, and carbon fiber.... i am gonna completly black out my wheels, leave the bolts polished and put the CE stripes on my EB Z06.... RICE!!!! hell no. GOLD, BRASS, WHT, or RED is rice. Black is just sexy!!!!
