Talking CCW Classics are in. Fat lips!

Wheels are finally in after 4 weeks. ~5.75'' rear lips!

Thanks to John and Dan at CCW - these guys know their ****! I couldn't decide between these or the LM20, but IMO the spoke design of the Classics is nicer and not a fan of the stepped lip on the LM.

Car has no brakes right now waiting on my powdercoated calipers to get back from Sean@ThePowderPro. So just a teaser pic for now til I can get the car rolling out of the garage and washed up

Shitty iPhone pics, but you get the idea

Tires are the new Falken 615K, not the 615's that were on sale for $59 each at Vulcan tire. Love the tread!

Wow, those really look amazing.

I'm assuming you're running a narrowed rear?

LOL I know - shipping is delayed too from Powder Pro due to the snow storm so as soon as I can get the calipers on and brakes bled!

Tire specs are 315/30/18 rears - the sidewalls are perfect - flat with the edge of the wheel and no bulge - exactly what I wanted

chon79,

I got your pm. Great decision those look really good man, and I approve on the -3 per side If i could've afforded it at the time, I would've done the same thing. Maybe later down the road for me. Now we gotta see your car on the floor and from some different angles.

Daniel

Where'd you get the tires from? Mind me asking how much they run for?

CCW gave me a combo package with the wheels. Discount Tire Direct has them. These have a better treadwear rating and slightly different tread pattern I think.

275/35/18s in front and 315/30/18 rears run about 1100-1300 when I priced tires alone.

Looks awesome, and I'm typically not a fan of black center / polished lip wheels. Love the tires too!
