Default CCW Manufacturing Process, with pics

I posted this in the LS1GTO forum several weeks ago. I was able to get CCW to photo-document our wheels being manufactured. Thought that the LS1Tech folks will enjoy this.

That's a pretty cool process. Definitely a hot GTO. I see you had a pic from a meet in Lewisville... I was just in Lewisville a few weeks ago over spring break. Well we stayed in Highland Village, but we were in Lewisville and Flower Mound a lot.

That's pretty sweet. It would suck to work in the polishing/buffing area.

It's always cool to see how things are made, especially nice wheels like those. I love that GTO too!

^^^ Thanks for the compliments. The wife & I just love this car.
I must say that CCW John stands behind his product. We did have 9-1/2" rears with inner fender rubbing, even with 5mm spacers. He sent us a new set of 10" rears which pulled the rubber 1/2" closer to the outer fender.
Still have a slight inner fender rub with the car loaded, going over highway major-road-dips. I must get a new BFH to fix it, my old one was stolen when our shed was broken into (all tools were taken).

CCWs are by far the best bang for the buck when it come to a quality wheel, and they are the only wheel that can make a GTO look great, i just wish i would have kept my 06 long enough to put a set of 505a on it


your goat looks killer! congrats
