Default CCW 505 wheels???

I know that they had ceased production on the wheel. Does anyone on here know of a similarly styled wheel for under 2k for a set of 4????????????

I think one of the most popular cars on LS1 tech is the guy with the Pewter WS6 named Detoxx. Always loved how they looked on his car.

Sorry to hear that man.

Nothing Ive really seen. Any split 5 spoke cast wheel that could be close would look like **** compared to CCWs in person.

This^^^ i Used to talk **** about OE DD C5 wheels, when people would compare them to 505a's even tho i had never seen 505's in person. But now i own a set, and holy ****! they down right **** on any look a likes period. I love my CCW's.

OP if you look on the corvette forums you can find a used set of CCW's with tires for around what your willing to spend.

I was recently looking at Ruff 278's too. I came across this site http://www.vqmotoring.com/. They have a banner that they are exclusive distributors of the 278 and 279.

^Ill put money on that when you go to order theyll give you the "oh it seems these particular wheels are discontinued, but we have so and so that are similiar". Trust me it happened to me back in 2010.
