Ordered CCW Drag Setup...
Well, I broke down and finally ordered the CCW slick/skinny combo. :D I'm looking forward to finally hooking consistantly. :yesnod: I ordered the 16x5 fronts with skinnies, and the 16x10 rears. I didn't order the ET Streets, as I already have a set of those I'm buying used. I got the wheels in black, with the polished outer lip, and the chrome center cap and bolts. :cool: Should look mean on my black car. :reddevil Plus, I had to make my car look a little different, there's a lot of black C5s at E-Town running CCWs nowadays. :yesnod: They should take about 2 weeks or so, and I can't wait to try them out! :D :D :D
To anybody that wants to seriously drag their C5, look no further than John at CCW, he's a great guy to deal with, and sells some awesome wheels. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Bill (boweryboy), pretty close. I got laid off, then managed to find another job right away... can you say stay bonus!!! :D :D :D More cubes are a year or two off, I'll need a promotion to do that. :)
Don't worry, I'll take lots of pics and put 'em up on the forum as soon as I get the wheels! :cheers:

Way to go Bill. Keep this in mind, the ET streets in the rain are horrible. If you wanna keep a set of regular tires in the area, I may be able to hold some room for you. I am 17 miles from the track

Oh no...not another black C5 with CCWs. I can't tell them apart anymore...LOL
I guess when something works, why try to re-invent it. Good luck with them Bill

Congrats the CCW are the only set-up close to a real race wheel. You would have thought by now Weld or someone would be making the same size set-up.
