Default Favorite 17X11 rims?

Just wanting to see what people prefer as their favorite 17X11 rims? I really like the TT2's but just seeing if anyone else has any ideas? I would like to match up some skinnier fronts and would like to stay away from ZR1's. Any pics would be appreciated.

I too like the TT2'S very much; as does my Fiance. Being that I had a pair of stock 17" Firehawk Rims widened to 11", I'm a little partial to mine as well

Ive only seen one other car with my wheels, theyre Boyd Coddington 'Tuned' with 17x11's out back. They take 6 weeks to make though, but are worth the wait.

You are all wrong CCW track wheels. Lightest wheels on the market in that size. And If you can afford it the titianum bolts. As may don't know what I am talking about here you go! Oh and this is 17x10 w/275 nitto 555R and 17x11 w/315 nitto 555RII

CCW track wheels are by far the best wheels on the market today. I run 17x11 on all 4 corners

I like the Timeless 2's I have now, but if I could, I'd upgrade to some CCW's...

I like my powder coated TT IIs but i would have to say that my favorite's would be Fikse FM5 and Fikse Profil 5 in 17x11. If you wanna go up an inch, the CCW 505 and classics in 18x11 woud be sick as well as IForge Aero 18s

It is a company, it is an acronym for complete custom wheel. They make very high end wheels but at affordable prices. If you can make it fit your car they can build it for you.

Anyone notice that the "best" CCW track wheels in the image only have 2 lugs holding the rim on the axle even though the car is sitting on the ground.
