Are there CCW wheels knock offs?
Are there CCW wheels knock offs? Was browsing today and saw the CCW thread and saw the SP500 wheels and was a little surprised since I have a set very similar to these on the T/A in my garage. Since the clear cloat was peeling hadn't really though much about them till I went to CCW's website and saw the wheel pricing. I'll try to get some pictures of the wheels up but I was wondering if there was another company making clones of the SP500 wheel? (For the price I bought the car I'm shocked if they are $2600.00 rims.)

I wouldn't be surprised considering the popularity of the SP500s. They damn sure aren't CCWs since they don't clear their wheels...I'm kinda curious to see just how similar they are.
Yea, there is a wheel very similar to the SP500 wheel. Has a nice lip on it too. I believe they only come in 19" though. They are from TSW & I believe they are the Volcano series. Not sure if they are still in production for our bolt pattern though. Thought I heard someone say they were discontinued.

I'll try to snag a couple of pics of one of the rims tonight once I'm home from work... Planning to put the **** end of the 95 on jackstands tonight to have a full size spare available when I pick up the 93 this weekend. (both cars are on 275/40/17s right now)

I was planning on painting the rims if they are indeed knock offs before I sell the 95 this spring. Just didn't want to paint a set of CCW wheels in the unlikely event they were not knock offs.

Like Tony said, LG makes some. The LG ones are 505A lookalikes tho, not SP500's. I've seen them in person, and they are a very nice wheel. If I didn't already have CCW's, I'd get the LG wheels.

Are those the only sizes for the LG wheels? Those are awesome! Almost identical to CCW's and a grand less. It would be nice if they had a 19x10 or 18x11 so you didn't have to stager them.
Just got done taking the rear wheels off the car the centers say SP by ROH. Looking at ROH's wheels they match the ROH Snypers. Now just need to decided if they're worth saving.... My guess is a previous owner decided to spray clear coat on them to make cleaning easier.
What do folks think of painting the inside of the rim black and leaving the lip polished? Debating which to keep the OE black Z06's or the Snypers with the patriot Red T/A
