Light weight, ugly (flame suit ON!), reasonably priced...what kind of look are you after? Drag set-up I assume? If not and still thinking CCW a set of 18" 505 or 550s would look really good! I dont think a mesh style wheel looks very good on a camaro, imo. Btw, love the Huggers!

The only con I can come up with is keeping them looking nice . Natural aluminum and polished does not stay looking nice after they get wet and all those bolts are a pita to clean around . A perfect solution would be to clear powercoat the center section where the bolts are then you just have to maintain the lip, which would be easy.

^I asked CCW about clearing their polished finish when I ordered my Classics and they didn't recommend it - it created a hazy finish and the polished finish didn't look so deep.

They recommend having them chromed (expensive option) painted, or use Zoopseal.

I love my CCWs. I had my centers titanium anodized. Easy cleaning. Wash the car, wipe the centers off with a towel, polish the lips. I'm thinking of even doing the lips in chrome for easier cleaning.
