Exclamation What's a Better Aluminum Wheel?

I'm considering 2 different wheels. Which one is made of better material?
What is better for strength, weight, polishing, and holding luster?



CCW
1 Piece forging
6061-T6 Aluminum
CNC Machined


INTRO
2 pc. Wheel
Billet Aluminum
CNC Machined
Can't really find any more information.

As you know CCW is a very good wheel and its strong

INTRO I cant say ive heard of it, but from the sounds of it also seems strong since its two peice and made out of billet.

I've had both brands. Luster-wise, they are the same. I'd give the nod to Intro since they polish the backside hoop of their wheels too. Strengthwise, they should also be the same. The CCW wheels are lighter though, since they are designed with performance in mind, while the Intros are more about cosmetics first.

Intro makes some sick wheels, none of them really turn my crank except the GT Sport as far as F-Bodies go though, and it appears as though 10" is as wide as you can get get without having them do something custom (just going by their site)

My vote is for CCW's. I have seen them make the wheels and their quality is awesome.

I would go CCW. I put a lot of time into deciding what wheels I wanted to ended up with this. If money really isnt an issue, then go with these. PM me if you want pics of my car with these wheels.
