Thoughts CCW wheels
Guys,
I have posted a WTB ad for a set of CCW's for my 5th Gen NB Coupe.
Also working a different route where I can get 3/4 wheels (18x10" and 19x11") CCW SP550's for 7bills + shipping cost. CCW can make the 4th wheel (19x11") for about 9 bill shipped, that puts me with a set of SP550's for approx. 1600. Only thing is that I'm getting them from 2 sources. The 1st source states that he will have these wheels polished or powerdercoated, my choice, thinking of going polished.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Cat

Buy the three polished. The 4th from CCW directly should match just fine then. After that, if you decide you want them powdercoated, do all four at once. Getting three coated then a new one and trying to match it up is asking for trouble.

IMO, nothing like a set of polished CCW wheels. They do require periodic maintenance, but they look so good.
