Just ordered CCW wheels....
Hey guys! I have been trying to decide what wheels and tires to go with for the past couple of months. After weighing the advantages and disadvantages of all the brands I decided to go with CCW wheels. I just got off the phone with John @ CCW and ordered 18 X 11.5s / 18 X 10s shod with 335/30s 285/30s Michelin pilots. I cant wait for my new setup to arrive so I can hit the track again. Later! :smash: :crazy: :smash: :crazy: :smash: :crazy: :smash: :crazy: :smash: :crazy: :smash: :crazy: :smash:

It's going to look sweet! I've seen a few at the track with the "Big & Little" package(Slicks/Skinnies) definitely a tough look!
Post pics once they arrive!

Is John going to get you a set of sensors or are you sending him a set.

Neither, I am getting special valve stems that dont require sensors. :lol:

Nice choice, although I had him do sensors, as I like the monitoring, particularly with non-runflats.
This is what they look like in those sizes. Click the website link if you want to see more.

Re: Just ordered CCW wheels.... (Phil97SVT)
I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago. Called today and they are going out this week. Same set up but I think he told me to go 10 1/2 in front. Should I change to 10s in front? I have the 11 1/2 in back w/ pilot sports.
I could be wrong but I think he was telling me to keep them not more than one inch difference from front to rear. Am I full of crap???? I may have misunderstood.

John was Prob. talking about the 1" diff from front to rear for the height of the tire and how it effects the Active Handling on the car.

Your probably right. Does it seem that most are going w/ no more than 10s in the front and not 10 1/2. Just hope I do not have any problems.
