Still working on the polishing, it's going to take a while because I'm thinking it's going to take me sanding them to get them where they need to be.

Those are really nice!

They do need a light sanding. But IMO of you plan on just driving the car, I wouldn't bother sanding, those things will get filthy in no time.

You make a great point, I forgot its been awhile since I looked at the prices of 19" tires. Was just thinking with your power level the more meat the merrier..

i was very serious about getting a set of sp500s until i came across oewheelsllc c5 chrome deep dish wheels for only 700 what is the benifit of ccw over these?

Ligther, forged, bigger lips, customization. Honestly from pictures OEwheels may look a little similiar and I emphasize the litte. If you saw CCWs in person it would be an easy choice. I had a set of Oewheels on my old Camaro, they were heavy sons of bitches, the chrome peeled after awhile, and they had the stupid *** vette flags on the center caps. If you were serious about it, dont change your mind. Gotta pay to play..

I went from Ruff 278s in 19x9.5 on all four corners with 275/30/19 tires to 19x9.5 up front and 19x11 out back CCW T10s. Both wheels are split 5-spokes, but the Ruffs being cast wheels with tires weighed 52.4lbs each. My front wheel/tire CCW combo weight 46.2lbs with a slightly narrower 255/35/19 and the rears weigh 46.8lbs with a 285/35/19. So I now have a forged wheel which is stronger, lighter and looks killer that I can fit 305/30/19s on.

Once you see a set of ccws/fikse or anyother highdollar forged rim ya can easily see why the cost so much,the quality is 2nd to none,there is alot ya cant see in pics,that ta looks killer,imo i would buff them,yes its time spent sanding etc, but its worth it,

How do you get the center caps off? I tried tapping them with a light rubber mallet and didn't have much success. They spin, but they don't seem to come out, am I doing something wrong? What's the trick. It will make polishing the face and the cap easier with it out.

Thanks.

Set the wheel face down on a soft surface, take a piece of PVC or wood or whatever you have to the back side of the cap, then smack it with a dead blow.. follow through with it so that the cap doesnt bounce up and damage the wheel.

Wow these take forever to clean and i have sp500's! Who has pics of clear coated ccw's or powdercoated

What are you cleaning with? Just the face and lip or the barrels as well? The 500s are much easier than the 505A's. It takes me about 10 minutes per wheel with my Fikse FM10s and they have alot more little cracks and tight spaces. Thats including cleaning and polishing up the lips.
