Default My CCW "track wheels" PICS

well I got a sweet deal on these rims 17x11 rear and 17x10 front for $660 to my door. But the nitto555r 315 and nitto555rII 275 where about $900. I was told that these wheels only weigh 19lb without tires, b/c they are a a "track rim less bolts then a street rim.
The coolest part is if a rim gets bent you can just call and order a barrel halff for about $150. I love these wheels!!!

Soory these are the only photos I have right now!

Those rims are sweet.... and you only paid $660.... that's crazy cheap... but what makes them track rims? Can you not run them full time on the street, which for me is less than 5k miles a year?

I checked out their website and like the look of the wheel. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Well bought them froma fellow racer No damage or marks anywhere. The guy at CCW said they retail for $2000ish, They are "track" wheels b/c of the thinner aluminum and the bolts. I guess that they just arn't strong when it comes to potholes. The guy at CCW said "But I have dozens of people using them on the street and if the rim bends to to a pothole just unbolt it and send me the half and for $100-200 I will send you a new one!

IMO these is truely the best rims for the money even at retail. Same built as a HRE or Fiske half the price, some models are lighter and with a socket set you can rebuild them.

HRE and Fiske are a pressed 3piece. These are bolted and for like $120 a wheel you can upgrade to Titianum bolts.

Oh the only thing I don't like is the lips on the rims are like .5" even on a 315 nitto (that the nitto has lip protectors) the lip sticks out. He said that is for the Hooiser autocross tires! But I can have it milled down for $300 localy!
