Default CCW Manufacturing Process, with pics

I posted this in the LS1GTO forum several weeks ago. I was able to get CCW to photo-document our wheels being manufactured. Thought that the LS1Tech folks will enjoy this.

That's a pretty cool process. Definitely a hot GTO. I see you had a pic from a meet in Lewisville... I was just in Lewisville a few weeks ago over spring break. Well we stayed in Highland Village, but we were in Lewisville and Flower Mound a lot.

That's pretty sweet. It would suck to work in the polishing/buffing area.

It's always cool to see how things are made, especially nice wheels like those. I love that GTO too!

^^^ Thanks for the compliments. The wife & I just love this car.
I must say that CCW John stands behind his product. We did have 9-1/2" rears with inner fender rubbing, even with 5mm spacers. He sent us a new set of 10" rears which pulled the rubber 1/2" closer to the outer fender.
Still have a slight inner fender rub with the car loaded, going over highway major-road-dips. I must get a new BFH to fix it, my old one was stolen when our shed was broken into (all tools were taken).

That's awesome. Great wheel, great looking car. I freaking LOVE the color, I know it's not the plain ol red, that's just georgous though.

CCWs are by far the best bang for the buck when it come to a quality wheel, and they are the only wheel that can make a GTO look great, i just wish i would have kept my 06 long enough to put a set of 505a on it


your goat looks killer! congrats
