CCW are very high quality wheels, you can't go wrong with them. John @ CCW was very informative and helped me out when I called. It's not often that the owner of a business like that will just answer the phone and talk to customers.

As far as a setup for you goes, it really repends on exactly what you want to do with it. Road race, drag race, use the same wheels and tires for street and race etc...

Like others have said CCW's are great quality but they do cost a pretty penny.
