Default CCW Classics.....wow....

.....are the only aftermarket wheels I would buy for my Z06 vette. I'm a fan of the clean OEM look and just think these wheels really go with the look of the car. They don't have the "too much rim" factor...in my opinion.

That being written, you guys with CCW classics, feel free to post pics here!

There are other styles of CCW wheels that I like better, but the Classics are also a good choice. Hard to go wrong with any of their products.

You mean the ones that resemble the BBS wheels from the late 80s?

Yeah, but he did say "mesh", and one of the original CCW center designs was a BBS style "mesh" center. I had a set of those on my Z-28, in the late 90s.

Never have cared for any of the "snow flake" pattern wheel centers. Just too busy for my taste. My first 'Vette was a white '84 with similar wheels with white center. Most people liked the look......I couldn't trade them fast enough for stock wheels, which I hand polished to a high mirror finish. Now those looked hot on the car!!!

That being said, I think the CCW 505A's are some of the hottest wheels you can put on a C5. Gorgeous!!!

IF by hottest you are mean overdone to death and back 6 times, then yes. Literally everyone has a set plus SP500's for when it's sunny out. It's like watching the clone wars unfold in real life.

CCW's 3 piece classics and LM16/20 are killer.

Nope, but I do know which ones you are talking about. I had a Z-28 in the early 90's, on nitrous! LOL.
