Your last pic makes the rear look like it might be sticking out a little bit. What are your offsets? Do you have any pictures with the sight line right down the side of the car?

I am not sure on the exact offset but I would guess somewhere ~80. CCW could answer your question for sure.

Forget that!!! I think your wheels are NIIIIICE.....

Don't get me wrong, I think they look fantastic. I am trying to decide what wheels to get and I am very sensitive to the fit, and it's hard to tell from pictures sometimes what they will really look like on the car.

CCW are custom made they are not some cheap *** chinese knock off in the wrong offset. If you are worried you could always play it safe and go with a 305 instead of the 325 I am running.
Here is a pic of my other set of C14 with the RA1 305/35 on the back. They are absolutely perfect and the offsets are right on. This is not guesswork, CCW gets it right.
CCW wheels do fit better than anything else out there. The numbers speak for themselves.
Rear Wheel Examples:
Stock-------19x10-----79mm offset----------stock
CCW--------19x11-----82.5mm offset---------wheel face out 8mm
Ace Slick----19x11-----73mm offset----------wheel face out 19mm
Forgeline----19x11-----72mm offset--------- wheel face out 20mm
HRE --------19x11-----72mm offset--------- wheel face out 20mm
BBS--------19x10.5----75mm offset--------- wheel face out 17mm
Gotta laugh at some of these newbie posts questioning CCW. If there is one vendor who knows his stuff inside and out, down to haveing factory connections, it's John Purner. For the newbies: CCW has supplied most of the factory car series race teams the last 15 years, including World Challenge etc. Currently supplies the Viper, Porsche, Corvette, Lotus, and Solstice race teams.
The C14 is a REAL race wheel.
Anyway, NICE wheels C6400hp! Just ordered my black C10s last week. Ouchtown in the wallet, but I can't wait to get them.

you're telling me that for $5-8 GRAND HRE or Forgeline won't build you a wheel to spec?!?!?!
I wish I knew this information before I bought the Ace Slick wheels. I also wish I knew the correct wheel weights (info that virtually no vendor provides). It's amazing that a Corvette vendor is selling these wheels as a correct fit for a C6 (nonwidebody) and also amazing that the manufacturer never (I presume) checked the wheel on an actual C6 or figured out that they would need to increase the positive offset to compensate for the wider wheel and wheel design.

Not sure if you are referring to me... but I am no newbie when it comes to wheel fitment and I have seen plenty of higher-end wheels sold with the offsets that some would consider too aggressive, while others would love it. I've been around the block with this on several other cars and even wrote a wheel fitment guide for the S2000 which has over 60,000 views:
CCW is one of my favorite wheel manufacturers and I have used their wheels on my autocross cars. I was simply looking at the picture and noting that the rear offset looked very aggressive. Some people don't mind if the wheels stick out slightly, and in racing applications that might be done in order to fit the widest tire possible. For street applications I prefer the wheel be flush, or slightly sub-flush.
C6400HP, thanks for the additional pictures. That's exactly what I was looking for.

To clear things up: The offsets are correct what makes them seem aggressive is actually the 325 tire as the wheel is only 11" wide they buldge quite a bit. If you were to put a 305 on them it would fix that issue. We do make our wheels fit a perfect (almost flush) with the fenders a possible without creating rubbing issues but ride height and alignment does play a pretty big roll in how they look as well. I'm not saying you have to go change everything but if he were to drop the car another 1" of coarse the camber would change slightly but you would see they sit perfectly right inside the fender.
