    Yeah. Talking to Bucky about painting the wheels a deep gloss black w/ clear and paint matched center caps. I'll have to order some black lugs for the solid black scheme.

    I could've had my old CCWs powdercoated black and finished with this red lining.

    Polished lip is getting to be played out and you're more likely to see it on a escalade than on a race track these days. Those CCW's with that wide lip wouldn't look bad though polished though!...the wheels you posted before have like 1/4 the lip.

    Yeah. They had to have special offsets to clear my calipers and be 18x12".

    Edit: I was going to order another set of CCW SP500s but they could only make them in 18x11 and it was a heavier wheel.

    They look kinda like Team Dynamics wheels.

    Was going to order the CCW C14s but they advised the C10s would be lighter and they could make the C14 spoke design for me so I agreed.

    18x12, 19lbs and clear my calipers. I ordered some 2pc rotors to free up some weight also. Saved 18lbs in the front rotors!

    That's what i'm talkin about, 19 lbs for a wheel that size is extremely light Most BBS's normally run at least 5lbs more than that in like a 10" width!

    Good rotors make a world of differance too, i assume they're a split surface rotor with the cooling fins inbetween then bolted to an aluminum hat? It makes no sense why rotors aren't made like that/installed from the factory, especially on "performance" cars?! It's funny you go on eBay and find stock Z06 brake sets complete for under $400
