Cool CCW Firehawk & iForged 1967 Camaro

I was bored while working offshore the last month, picked up some new rolling stock for three cars. Not shown is the GTO, since it is at the paint shop getting the Monaro nose conversion. I'll get some better photos later, it is about to rain outside so these are quick and dirty with a point-n-shoot Sony.

Here is the '02 Firehawk with 18" CCW SP500 wheels and BFG KDW2 tires. I also took the opportunity to lower the car with Hotchkis coils and put some new brake rotors on the car.









Up next is the '67 Camaro. I lowered it with Photoshop since my new rear axle hasn't shown up yet. haha. Wheels are 18x8 front and 18x10 rear, iForged "Astra" with brushed centers. This is their newest design, not many people have them yet. I liked the thicker spokes for the old car. Nitto tires on this car.

Those look amazing. Why did you choose to go from the IForged to the CCW on the Firehawk? Either way, great taste on both cars, and the height on the Firehawk looks perfect now.

Scott, I had CCW spec out the wheels/tires. I want to say they are 18x9.5 front 18x11 rears. I stuck with 275 front tires and 295 rears to avoid having to roll fenders on the car. Might have to do it anyways, they are close. Rotors are from a previous non-sponsor that I will not give props to since they owe me money.

ncSSu, I wanted to go with the SP500 since the wheel has a very similar look to the factory wheel. The iForged Aeros I had on it seemed too busy for me with the bright orange color. I think the Aeros looked better on my black Formula.

Wow, I figured that one day I would have to choose between the Fikse FM5's & the Iforged Aeros & now I don't have to. That is the best looking wheel I've seen yet!!

I really like those Astras! (don't get me wrong, nothing against the CCWs at all - in fact, if you ever feel like being stupid generous, I'll gladly take them as a gift - I'll even send you my stock 10 spokes )

God your cars just never cease to AMAZE me lol. The rims on the Firehawk look insanely good.......The Pro-Touring look on the '67 looks badass too. Nice work bro .

My thoughts exactly I prefer the rolled lip over stepped lips. I was thinking about FM5s for the '67 but wanted something different.

Why do all the pics of CCW's within the last couple months look like the rear tire are stretched?

I think it does that when you run a 295 on an 11" rim instead of going with a 305.But w/a 305 you probably got to roll your fenders.So not everyone will like to do that.

Gorgeous on both cars. If I get another 4th Gen F-Body it will be a Firehawk and it will have SP500s on it.
