CCW SP500, I believe. Very nice forged, monoblock wheels.
They have some flexibility in the backspacing.
Here's a link to the site:

19 x 11 or 11.5 3" lip just call CCW & ask for the max back spacing allowed for that wheel.

I see they now list a 20" for that wheel not sure if that is true, John said he could not make that wheel in a 20"

Quality cost money, I would consider them cheap compared to others that are available. I am on my second set of CCW's, other than some machining problems with my last set, I would order another.

He just said it wouldn't look right, would like to see a set mounted.

they were much more reasonably priced before weld bought them out... on the flipside they now have a much better selection of finish options
