CCW C140 or C2K?
So I am treating myself to a birthday present: New wheels for the C5Z
I have narrowed it down to CCW's C140 or C2K. Either will be in their brushed titanium color in the "big street" size + offset
I thought until now that I wanted the C140s, but I stumbled upon the C2Ks and am now stuck between the two.
C140
C2K

Thank you.
Not sure of the offsets, I just requested the "big street" setup from John at CCW. 18x10 in front and 18x11.5 in the rear. Tires are 285/35/18 and 305/35/18 Nitto 555 RII.

Thanks! I used to have 315/30/18 Michelin PS2, but needed more grip with the 427 and 3.90 gears so I switched to 305 Nitto RIIs.

Bill can we get more shots of your car and wheels, even if its just cell phone (other than what has already been posted in other threads) if its easier e-Mail them to
sumitag88@gmail.com
I am 4 days away from my big order and I still dont even know what wheels
Option 1) C140 or C2K in some color, definitely BIG STREET specs
Option 2) CCW Classics, with a little twist on what this guy did

DOOD....would LOVE to see that. I have the same color Z with CCW's that are powdercoated black.
TO THE OP:
C2K's...definitely.
