Default CCWs finally

So, after lots of nights of sleeping on it, thinking about it and looking at a bunch of different sets of rims, I finally decided to go with
CCW SP16a's for my 2000 targa C5 vette. 19X10 (275 width tire front) 19X11 (305) backs. Ordered them today.

I'll make sure to get lots of pics up when installed. I bought it as a wheel/tire package from corvettegarage with yokohama advan tires, but I still have to swap the tire pressure sensors from my old rims, and eventually I'll swap the rotors and caliper covers and drop my car an inch or two.

That's because they're great looking, come in many styles, and are a great vendor to work with. All this, and a high quality part at a reasonable (compared to many others) priced product.
