CCW Drag Wheels, need some measurements..
Hey Guys,
Anybody have the measurements on CCW Wheels Drag Wheels? I am curious about the back spacing for the rears and front skinnies...
Rears are 16x10?
Fronts are 16x5.5?
Thanks

I use a 12" wide M&H slick and it fits OK. No modification to the tub is necessary.

I am going to call in the morning, but I think I can have these fabbed up for $470/set....
CCW makes a great quality product, but I can cut their profit margin out of these and make them available to the public for a much lower price.
I will have to see what our design options are, but they probably wont be as pretty as the CCW wheels. My buddy currently supplies the Cobra guys with their drag wheels, and would be interested in doing something for the Vette Community.
I'll post back in the morning with the pricing....
It will take about two weeks to get the first prototypes...but I'll post pics when they are received..

Sounds good....
I just know how popular his wheels are in the Ford Cobra Community, and I believe the Vette crowd could use a lower price drag wheel alternative..
It's one thing to spend $2000-$2500 on your show wheels, but a drag setup that I'm only going to use a few days per month, year...just seems kind of rediculous...
Like I said, I think I can have these fabricated for about $470/set of 4...(That's two 16x10's, and two 16x6's.)

The CCW wheels are great quality, but the tire size selection for 16" is p!ss poor

It looks like we are good to go on the rear 16x10's....
Pricing is $140/each....offered in Silver or Black Powdercoat...
The fronts are going to be offered in 16x6's (still need to be test fitted, give me a few days to confirm these fit).....
Pricing is set at $95/each....offered in Silver or Black Powdercoat...
Chrome is optional, but pricing will be an additional $50/wheel...
* Optional - Safety Beads can be rolled into these shells to help keep the tire mounted for those racers running extremely low air pressures. Chrome wheels cannot be beaded.
This is the wheel shown above...I'd recommend the Silver..

Ugliest wheels available
Don't take this the wrong way but those wheels are the worst wheels I've ever seen. They are stock car/dirt track wheels which you can get in many offsets and sizes. Good Luck on your venture, I for one would never use those things.

For $470/set plus shipping, that is a freaking steal and gets the job done...
I can't justify an additional $1200 for prettier CCW wheels that perform the same function...with the same end result....
I hope you can see where I'm coming from....
I'll take my extra $1200 and apply it on some 18" CCW Show Wheels that are going to be seen every day...
