Had to replace the CCW 505As. My daily commute is about 150 miles and they were almost impossible to keep clean during the week. Went with chrome Cray Wheels.

Sweet wheels, sorry to hear about having to get rid of the 505a's. Now, do I see new tires somehere on the horizen? As the left front pic looks pretty tired.

Actually, they are brand new tires (the pic was done at night, sorry). Nitto Evos 285X30X19 Front and 345X25X20 rear. Purchased from one of our own Forum member's. Wheels/tires purchased as a set.
