ccw classics
I have searched and searched to no avail, I am looking for a black c5 zo6 on ccw classics but instead of the polished or black inner barrel I am looking for the anthracite or grey inner spokes with the poliched lip. I have seen this combination on a black 03 cobra and it was fantastic. Anybody have a link to a picture that has this color combination? Thanks all
By the way I checked ccw's website and they don't have a picture of this particular combo either.

That's because CCW never offered Classics with a grey finish on the centers. They have only offered them with a dull black. When I ordered mine I wanted exactly that combo, polished lips with a grey center. I was advised it was something I'd have to do myself, so I ordered full polish and never got around to doing the centers. CCW also does not recommend powder coating the centers, only paint, which was another reason I left them alone. I was actually very pleased with full polish on my torch red Z06. If you go to CCW's gallery maybe you'll find some car with the look you want.

I had the classics with black anodized centers, and after only about 18 months, they started peeling and cracking. (the finish) I highly recommend getting them any finish, but anodized. CCW is a fantastic company to do business with, regardless, and I wouldn't hesitate to endorse their wheels.

John, the owner of CCW, didn't recommend powdercoating because he felt the heat to bake the finish could affect the strength of the wheel. I personally don't know if that's true, but I really like the polish look anyway. As far as maintenance, the Mother's powercone makes a big difference in polishing. You can breeze though a whole wheel inside the spokes and out in about ten minutes. As far as cleaning around the bolts (not rivets), a good wheel cleaner spray makes the dirt and brake dust hose off easily. I use Advance Autos own brand and it works real well. I've posted some pics of my car before. When I find them I'll re-post.
