CCW bad rep? Never heard of them getting a bad rep! Just that their wheels are expensive. But Definently Worth it!

theres quite a few guys on the mustang site with bad sets.. they'll replace them but for the money spent to start driving and have a wheel begin to crack or have to use over an Oz. of weight.. i would be pissed..
