Cool Bye bye Z06 wheels, hello CCWs
I am keeping the Z0 wheels for several reasons, but I just couldn't stand it anymore, I had to step my Camaro up a big notch and I think this will do the trick.

CCW SP500s, they are 18x10s & 18x11s and will be wrapped in BFG KDW 2s.

Get some Zoopseal (from Eastwood ==>) and protect them. They'll stay like new (no oxidation) for 2+ years.


Sweet rims!

Nice, I ditched my 18" Z06 wheels in favor of some high end jewelry as well.

I did almost exactly what you did and very happy that I did. AND to those that complain about the price of CCW's - you obviously haven't priced Fikse's or HRE's in the same sizes. CCW's are a bargain in my book - especially for a company that is willing to work with their customers.

Man, I couldn't agree more. Their customer service is top notch. I ordered these Monday and had them today! They called me 3 days this week giving follw-up and keeping me informed of everything. C/s is big to me and they exceed with it.

Gotta pay to play guys.
