C7 and CCW Wheels
Coming from the C5 generation, the CCW wheel is a popular aftermarket option. There are many georgeous C5s on this forum sporting CCW wheels.
I'm curious if there are any C7 owners who have added CCW wheels. If so, please post up some pics. I did perform a search and didn't find too much information.
Thanks!

just remember any wheel you buy on a C7 is going to be really flat with no "dish or concave" like previous generations because of the fenders/offset. Take that into account when spending money.
here's one of the big $ wheels, you can see how flat it has to be:

John, the owner of CCW and I had a discussion last July. He was waiting for new blanks to come in with a different surface curve and barrel shape to be able to make a proper 20" rear fitment for both the C7 and the new 991. They have done some fitments on the C7 but the rear has been a problem with the new offset to get the proper caliper clearance without excessive outside offset.
He showed me pictures of the design they were going to create with the new 20" blanks, they looked great. He also said the 19"/20" set of forged mono blocks would run under $4000 with custom finishes, absolutely the best bang for the buck on a true forged wheel and every bit as strong and good as the $8000 units from the big name suppliers (which all get their mono block blanks from the same forges).

I have some pics in my email and can send them to your email if you are interested.
My wheels are aluminum and had them sent to Ca. to be chromed. John had a difficult time
making these fit the rear calipers. They are 19 front and 20 rear.

I know that the C7 offset is different and I would love to get something similar to the above wheels in terms of lip depth but with the CCW center cap.
I'm considering adding a C7 Z51 coupe to keep my C5 vert company on these long, cold Florida winter nights!
However, I do like to customize and would like to improve on the OEM wheels. I'm leaning towards Crystal Red and although I'm not crazy about black wheels, I do like the look of gun metal finish.
