Thanks for all the pics....very tough decision. Leaning towards CCW 505a. Love the C6 Motorsports for the price. Being that I am originally from Chicagoland area, I kinda have a preference for Deep dish things.....pizza, rims.. Who has the best deals on these two rims? I'm guessing CCW's are around $2600 from my searches. I wanted to keep the Firestone Firehawk wheels on it, as they kinda go with the "Firehawk" theme. Biggest they go are 295/35/18...which I guess would look goos on CCW's or, should I go for the
19"....hmmm.

I have always liked Prostars, but the CCW's and HRE's are very nice just too pricey for me...

I have 295/35/18 on the rear cause they are 11" wide and the fronts are 275/35/18 on a 10" wheel. Your only gonna get the ccw's from ccw unless you can find someone wanting to sell some.

Those are my 18" Senekas. 18x9s up front, 18x10s in the rear.

You can probably get them for under $3k shipped from some of our board sponsors. I bought direct from Vince at iForged.

iForged DOES sell chrome wheels. I believe it's 150-200 extra per wheel.

if u can afford those expensive rims i definitely say the CCW SP500 i think thats the one..then the fikse FM5.. both the sickest rims ive seen on fbodies.. but also regular chrome C6 rims look good on T/A as well.

Being that you said you were leaning towards CCW's Im guessing price is not much of an issue for you. I will still throw my wheels in the mix. LG Motorsports World Challenge 18x10s..

What about the C6 z06 motorsports from the Corvette Garage? They look sexy too...or those deep dish Z06's. I actually like the rivet look...wonder if that is available in a deep dish...the C6 deep dish would be hot too.
A third of the CCW price.

How about these. The grey are can be coated black to match the car as another accent.

Can do the Set of 18x10 and 18x8 or 9 for under 2k.




the black would look like these, Its a bad pic but you get the picture.

Those LG's look almost exactly like the CCW's...what's the catch? Half price too! So I've narrowed it down to,
CCW 505a ($3600)...packaged with wheels at Corvette Garage for $4200
LG's (similar to CCW, almost half price $1995)
C6 Z06 Deep Dish $879
C6 Z06 motorsports $995

All similar look, split 5-spoke
I wonder if the Corvette wheels can have a custom centercap made to put a Firehawk logo on it.

Ahh, choices...

One thing to look at is the Weight between the wheels your looking at. yes the cheaper wheels are nice, But im sure they weigh alot more then the CCW does. That will infact change performance.

Someone who knows more about wheels can answer better but they are made differently than the CCWs. Are they heavier than CCW's? Possibly, I dont know. Its not a cheap wheel from a cheap company however, LG is very well known especially in the Vette world. FWIW, when I ordered mine I got them cheaper than what their site lists them as, by about $400.
