Default John at CCW comes through!!

I spoke to John last Friday about buying a pair of skinnines for my C5. I decided to buy them and asked how long would I have to wait. At first he said it would be about 2 weeks which seemed fair. I then just mentioned that I had a Corvette Challenege event this Sat. He immediately said "why didn't you tell me you had a race? I will get them to you before Saturday!"

WOW! That is a guy that has his priorities set straight! He said he would do what it would take to get them done!

I did not even have to place a follow up call. Last night the UPS guy dropped them off!!


WAY TO GO JOHN! :cheers: :cheers:

My set of four are on order. I told him it wasn't an emergency, though, so he said, "Two weeks". That's fine by me......

Bill tell me more of the same! All kidding aside even though I never bought anything there I see his service and concern is great to his clients. He even taught me a few things soon I will get some wheels. :D

I have NEW front skinnies with tires that were mounted and balanced by John at CCW, and 16x10in M/T slicks (they no longer make) mounted with M/T tubes on 16in Camaro wheels. Slicks have two passes on them. Will sell all four wheels and tires for $1200.00. Would like to sell them local if possible.

This is a great track setup and NO wait time. Ran a 12.05 @ 134.95 at the Vette, Viper shootout at MIR two weeks ago with a 2.55 60ft. and NO burn out. Slicks are like new. Did NOT have skinnies on my car.
