Default DSOM C6 - Final Mod - CCW T10

I'm serious when I say this. I know I said this last time, but I did mention that new wheels were the only exception. Well, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a new set of wheels. This is the absolute last thing I'm doing to the car OR my truck as I'm looking to purchase a house soon.

CCW T10
1 Piece Forged Aluminum CNC Machined
19x10 w/2" lip
19x13 w/3" lip
CCW Engraved Aluminum Center Caps

Nitto Invo
345/30/19
275/30/19

These wheels are absolutely beautiful and a work of art. According to CCW, they're the only style that gets the spokes fully polished. I am amazed on the quality of the wheels. Even the inside of the wheel/rim gets polished. I ordered them on a Monday and received them on Friday with standard ground shipping. A pricey wheel, but definitely worth the money.

Anyhow, let me know what you think. Yes, I did lower it some, but I may lower it just a tad more.

By the way, thanks Brian again for mounting the tires onto the wheels for the 3rd time!

I think the front needs to come down a hair, only to match the rear.

Only bad thing about those wheels is that you now need a big brake kit.

Looks sweet. Do those hookup? I had 20x10.50 on the rear of my old vette and had bfg's and it hooked like crazy. I like those wheels on the C6's. Theres acouple of guys at Quality Motorsports with those wheels on there Z's.

You need to buy my Z51 suspension, cheap! The shocks and both springs are just sitting there with your name on them! Hell I might even be able to dig up a Z06 sway bar to go with them....

Beautiful Jeremy, as always. When it comes to taste, you got it. I am mixed on lowering it anymore. It is close to where it needs to be, imo. Josh

Car looks great Jeramy. The secret to keeping those polished CCW's spotless is by keeping some automotive wax on them. Every time you wash the car, dry the wheels ASAP and hit them with a little wax. Otherwise, they will get dull in a hurry, and it is a bitch to get them shiny again.

LOL! No I think that ~$225 would be a good price for everything?
BTW the car does look good, I would bring the front down just a hair though. Just take a little off the bushings...

TheBlurLS1, yeah I'll probably lower the front just a tad, but brakes are out of the question. I have no use for bigger brakes honestly. It would be a looks thing and for that, not going to happen. Plus, the wheels were my last mod.

avengedws6, I can't hammer it in first and hookup, I have to "pedal" it. It all depends on the weather and type of road I'm on. For the most part, it hooks pretty good, WAY better than my Goodyear run flats.

ex-SS-ve, It's JERAMY! I don't know where you get Jerami from, but you always spell my name that way! So what do you think is missing? I don't know other than lowering the front a little.

NiceTry
, no need for upgraded suspension. Again, I just cruise this car on the weekend given the weather is good because my baby doesn't see rain. Plus, I LOVE my Magnetic Ride Control, best of both worlds.

Randy_S, oh c'mon, they're not that small.

BT03mach-1, haha, yeah I was on the way to eat with my pops and needed to snap some pics of the car with the new wheels. The sun was going down and there wasn't much between where I was coming from and where I was going to snap some photos at, so that's where I stopped.

Nine Ball, yeah I'm really amazed how well they're polished. You could mistake them for chrome at some angles. My wheels came with Rejex, would this work?

Inspector12, be nice. I don't drive it a lot, but I also don't want a whole lot of upkeep with the wheels, so I'll keep the wax in mind.

1QWK408, NO MORE WHEELS indeed. Seriously though, they're the last set.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I have room on the front bolts to lower it. I actually had to raise it when I installed the supercharger, but I guess it's coming back down this weekend.

There's really nothing I can do about it other than remove the mufflers and polish the outside of the mufflers. The only other thing is some sort of plate to cover the mufflers and expose the tips. But I agree with you, kind of looks bad. I guess it's more noticeable with the dual tips instead of quad.
