Anyone seen something like ccw classics?

Hey guys. I've just been browsing the web loking at ccw classics for my 98 Ta.

Does anybody know of any wheels that look similar to ccw classics but doesn't hurt the wallet so badly?

Thanks guys!

No other mesh wheels with a stepped lip that I can think of that are cheaper than CCWs. Have you looked into RPM 505s or HP Evos?

Skraight got them to do a set of their wheels at a 5x120 and 18's, Im sure with some persistence they would accompany your needs as well.

Yeah, I found those earlier..
I found that they are usually put on hondas and integras because I don't think they come any bigger than 16's. D:

You gotta pay to play unfortunately. None of the rims mentioned would even look close to CCWs, be close to their quality, or be as light (not to mention the shitty widths available). The good thing about Classics is they are the one CCW wheel you can find used much cheaper than a set of 505A's, SP500's, or any Fikse's. Ive seen them used ranging from $1000-$1500.

So it's like ... CCW's .. or Moser 9 inch... or rebuilt tranny... hmm.
It's a hard life. lol.
I think I'm just going to stick with my wheels if I can't find CCW's at a price that suits me.

If your not willing to spend 1k or a new set of wheels, your probably not left with many options for that style

That limits you to heavy cast wheels that either eveyone has or come in **** sizes like I already touched on. Have you looked into Forgestars? Not exactly CCW styling but their lightweight, attractive, semi-custom, and sold at a great price.

I'd have to agree.
They do look nice though.

I personally think the wheels you currently have look a lot better than CCW Classics.

I really like those XXR 521s. I know a couple shops around where I live where I can possibly get a set around $500 and up. I would get them in a 18x8.5 and 18x10 rears.

XXR 526 looks good with a nice lip.
