Default Unique CCW Classics

Hey guys and gals,

Tonight I took my CCW Classics apart because I am getting them redone this week. I can’t wait for the new look, to each there own, but I hated my current setup. They were a good deal though. I was curious if anyone on here has any unique or flat out cool classic combos. Post a picture of what you have, judge free zone

I had a similar set, but my centers were the black anodized, with gloss black powder coating over that....

Nothing I would call unique, but this is a matte bronze with polished lips.

The Bronze centers look good but I always liked a Shiny Black center, maybe with Red lug nuts.

How about this:.

Unfortunately for me, I had them WAY back when, during the time that CCW was trying to get by with gluing the TPMS sensors into the "drop" in the center of the rim. It didn't work, and after having to get the front tires "broken down", re-securing the sensors, then re-mounting the tires, I got tired of it, after a couple of years, and sold the wheels. They really did look good on my car, though............

Awesome looking wheels - but keeping these looking their best would make keeping a black car clean look like a walk thru the park....

But Man, are they nice!!

Mine are off the car and in in the early stages of being refinished.
Currently they are fully polished face and outer lips with a zombie/lime green in the inner barrels and inners of the cut outs on the wheel face with matching hardware.
They are going to be refinished and have a transparent blurple over the centers with white lips with glow in the dark. Hardware is going to be black or black chrome...still not decided on that.



and here is a pic of them on the car from a couple of years ago...
