CCW on order
Yesterday I ordered SP500s in hyperblack finish for my 07 AO coupe, 18x10F 19x12R, 275/35/18 and 325/30/19 Invos. Will of course post pics once received, installed, and car lowered... So far they have been great to work with and I have had a LOT of questions!

CCW T10s Chromed
CCW is a great vendor and they have great products!!!
My vette is a DD, so I wanted the wheels to be easy to keep clean. As mentioned in previous posts, forged aluminum is nice, but really hard to keep clean on a daily/weekly basis. Therefore, I purchased the T10 model wheels from CCW and then had them chromed by California Chrome (CalChrome). After they arrived at home from CalChrome, I put two coats of Rejex on them before getting them installed. I just love them on my vette.
CCW: When I placed my wheels order, I talked with John Purner from CCW, on the phone, and told him that I was replacing stock C6 wheels and using the existing tires ... he knew exactly what to do. John had my wheels & caps shipped directly to CalChrome, a company he recommended to me.
CalChrome: I worked with Blaine Radley from CalChrome, via phone, to place my order for the chroming. I got a reference number from Blaine and gave that to John for CCW to use when they shipped my wheels & caps to CalChrome.

Thanks for all the kind words and compliments. Most of you know that we strive to have the best customer service available.
We have started offering a brushed clear powder. It does not have the shine of a polished wheel, but the up-keep is easier.
Here are a couple pictures.

I have some questions: (I have 19-20 T-10's).
Could the lip be left polished with clear coat added
and get the spokes brushed and cleared?
Can you give approximation of costs?

Another question, is there no way to get the clear powder coat on a polished wheel?

When the CCW polished wheels are polished they look stunning. I would not clear coat them. I have been totally happy with mine. As another poster said, great product, great delivery, great value, great service before and after the sale. Very rare in any company today.

I just don't have the time and patience to polish.

Clear coating is the only option for polished wheels here. The uncoated wheels are stunning but would loose all that luster over time as stated above.
