No disrepsect taken at all. That is why CCW calls them "Classic Street" or "Classic Track". Many ppl choose different styles to fit their needs and looks. I needed a very light wheel, for unsprung weight, and strong to take the latteral stress of cornering on the track. Not to meantion lifting those son-of-guns when changing wheels. and affordable.

John did say they were working on a one piece 5 spoke racing wheel. It would be lightest racing wheel on the market except for the OZ Magnesium. Delivery time is when it is ready, maybe late 2005.

Yea... I was very surprised at how light they are. When I was getting ready to install the 18 X 11.5's with 335's I was thinking my back was gonna suffer. No problems! And I like my car looking like a Towncar!... Yea, right.
