just so the OP can compare and depending on his budget:

with a 3 piece wheel the hoop (rim) consists of two "halves" plus the wheel center and it is all bolted together, hence the relatively "hefty" price tag.

the CCW's (and pretty much all two-piece wheels) are a forged wheel with the hoop (rim) as a single piece (cylinder) and the wheel center welded in place with the specified offset. and last i checked, they were still in the "under $3000 retail price without any compromises in the quality".

btw, i don't work for CCW or any distributor, i am just one of MANY satisfied customers who appreciated any/all information from this great forum to help me make an informed decision based on aesthetics and budget.

good luck with whatever you decide and make sure you post up some pix.
