Beautiful! My goal is CCW 505a's, can't go wrong with the quality and awesome look... Those DDII & Maxx are gorgeous, the great look I desire. The car just jumps out at ya. They also look easy to keep clean which is a big plusss to me!!

Ideally purchasing a clean used set would be best for me economically, if anyone happens to want to part with their previous set, ready to upgrade etc. I'm in, on your pre driven ones... Please PM me. I have Ca$h in hand, Paypal ready to send out to ya Thank you, PeterB.

I love the CCW 505a's but they don't come in chrome and a polished rim is a pita to clean. I have the Cray scorpions but the quality is ok. Not like the CCW.

"Peter,Peter what am I to do with you man." Friends used to call me that James in my younger days; PetePeteWithSwingingMeat! These middle age days I'm more laid back although I'm always on the lookout to water some additional flowers. Wink.

Yours is by far one of the sweetest, bitchenest rides that can be! No doubt one of the top VetzJets on CF! But James02z, James, James "The peoples choice and the working mans friend" You've got to understand brother, Not all of us have that kinda $cratch you have laying around to drop a cool $8-10K on rubber and rims, flared fenders, brim fire & smoke, skies the limit yatayata Sir...

Just joking around. I hope I put a smile on ya handsome. Have a good weekend everyone and excuse the slightJack. Stay well.



PS I know their hard to find and that you know everyone, keep one eye open for me. I'm searching for those used CCW505a's and there's a birdie in it for ya

Thanks!

They are hub covers. I bought the chrome ones from west coast corvette, but the chrome quality wasn't very good, so I had them send me some unfinished ones instead and had them chromed where the wheels were chromed.

My original wheels were just like yours. When I went with the Z06 brakes/rotors, I had to go with different wheels to clear the larger calipers. My new ones are 946 EXT's (19's and 20's). I don't believe WCC sells the previous style that I had on my car.
