They look to be quality built wheels. Probably discontinued due to production costs, because they're a great looking wheel. I can't recall seeing this exact wheel before, so they must be from an early 2000s run.......

These might look a little more familiar. Hybrid version of the SP500, called the HS500. When I called CCW to see if I could get my hands on a replacement, the hobo on the phone said they lost the supplier that made those. Considering the price and reputation, I was a little shocked to hear they weren't the supplier themselves...lol. I'm not sure if these were made before CCW was sold to Weld, but the general consensus seems to be that quality/service has really gone downhill since. With the very brief phone call I had with them, I'd say that's probably true.

You're welcome to them...unfortunately one of them is unrepairable, which means the whole set is useless. I keep holding on to them in hopes that maybe one other Corvette owner bought a set and will put one or two up for sale at some point, but I know it's a lost cause lol. I don't take too many pics of the car in general, but here's one before...well, before many things
