Hawtness! I LOVE those CCW's Bill.

I hear what people are saying about customer service... I DO know where there are some 3 piece wheels that are different for not that 5k price tag right now ready to ship too http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=2171899

I believe I was only the second member on this forum to get the 505A's when they first came out so I really did have quite a rare set of wheels for some time. I posted lots of pics and sent lots of email replies to dozens of queries about them so I probably contributed some to their popularity. At that time, CCW sold primarily the Classic series to most folks here and many of those were for racing members.

I don't have to add to the enthusiastic posts in this thread but will simply confirm CCW's excellent price, uncompromising quality, lightning-fast delivery and unsurpassed customer service.

CCW makes the nicest wheels, others dont look that good on a vette.

I am saving for a set of 505a's. I love the look. I considered buying a set of more "affordable" wheels but knew in the long run I wouldn't be happy. Around March I'll have mine!

I like the CCWs but it does seem like everyone has them. Ive owned two sets of Fikse and two sets of HREs. Both companies have excellent customer service, and I prefer three piece wheels.

CCW's are a KILLER price, plus good construction, and I'm not too keen on paying a name tax on wheels. But I've been there done that on giant wheels on other cars.
It's aluminum, I want it forged, I want it wwwwiiiiiidddddeeeeee. I want it simple. Over-the-top designs belong on a donk in my opinion. And chrome just says to me "I like to go slow."

I never had to worry about fitment issues with these guys.

I have black corsairs on my Vred one; that way I don't have worry about all the brake dust immediately, and it draws attention to my brakes.
