if money isn't an issues...this is a stupid question. CCW's are 1000000000x better than 99% of the wheels out there. you can't compare a one piece billet aluminum wheel with a mirror polish to a chrome-plated cast aluminum rim. this is the definition of "not apples to apples."

get the CCW's.

Like everyone is saying if monry isnt a problem ccw's are the way to go. Not knocking ruffs but ccws are in a diffrent league.

I've got ruff 278s because I love the look of them but the ccw 505a's are definitely better, but you pay for them. I decided to get a lift with the extra money I had left over after getting the Ruff's vs. the CCW's.

Thanks for the compliments, but like I said, for the price difference, I got a lift.

I wasn't saying you should have gotten CCW's, if that's what you thought.

OP, get the CCW's or Ruff's and a lift!

No, I understood what you were saying, and I certainly agree that CCW's are really nice, just not worth it to me to spend the extra coin on them.

Yeah there's nothing wrong with Ruffs. For cast aluminum, they are as good as anything else out there.

HOWEVER, CCW is an entirely different animal. If price is no object, then forged is the way to go. I guarantee you everyone on this site who has Ruff 278's would have gone with CCW 505a's or Iforged Classics if money was not an issue. The problem is that some of us have expensive families to worry about, or (like me) have TOO MANY toys that we need to spread our cash out for.

how can you compare ruffs to ccws. There are reasons why those wheels are so cheap. Ruffs are CAST not FORGED.
