I LOVE CCW wheels
soo much so that i bought another set today. got the drag pack in 16". Got a hell of a deal, with tires so i could not pass it up!
Mounted them on the car, going to drive it tomorrow to see how they run.
What do you guys think? Car is sitting is a lil high due to just getting off the jack stands. usually sits about 1" lower.

I love the CCW's. I really want a drag pack for mine too but it just isn't in the cards right now. Would probably lead to more trips to the drag strip and more trouble anyway.
Looks good! Enjoy them!

AJ,
My old car looks simply bad azz with the new drag pack you have bought and showed mounted on the BEAST.
For what its worth 2 years b/f you bought the car from me I had the CCW Drag pack with et streets and skinnines and drove about 2000 miles with the drag pack on my local streets and highways and had 0 issues (but just don't get caught in the rain). 
No problem running these on the street and highways especially to and from the drags. Of course you have to take it easy on the twisties but in a straight line on the street they can't be beat!
Can't wait to see you rip off some mid to low 10s in my old BEAST (and my FIRST C5 that I LOVED the most out of all the 4 C5s I have owned)!
I am a HUGE fan of the CCW classics and think they look the most bad azz of any C5 rim for that bad to the bone kick you azz look!
Good luck man, go bring home some 10.3 all motor time slips for us!

i did drive it last night to a local meet and she did drive fine. turning was an issue, felt like i needed to fight the steering wheel. i don't plan on driving it much with them on, just wanted to know if it was safe. I got a trailer to use when i go to the track, so no worries there... thanks for the comments jim, appreciate it!
ha..perhaps here on the forum yes, but not in our hometown! there is maybe one or two other vettes with my style wheel on it. perhaps thats why all my fellow vette friends tell me, if i sell my wheels, they want to buy! Cuz they are RARE in MN!

That although the CCW classic style rims may be too common on vettes on the forum that you hardly see any driving around in your neck of the woods. For instance, I live in the west suburbs of Chicago and drive all over the place and hit at least 50 cruise nights a year in one of my hot rods and I never see vettes with CCWs running around in the Chicago area, other than when I owned AJ's car before him and use to run around town with a polished CCW Drag Pack with et streets and skinnies (about 6 years ago)!
AJ,
Good luck with the Beast bro and I look forward to your posts about the mid to low 10s you rip off in that ANIMAL!

Man that's just sick! Now you can use the drags on the street and no one would be the wiser 
Thanks,Matt
