Syed Shah Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 US track junkies love CCWs'. I have some, very nice wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Would be CCW's for me every time...I prefer the 'classic' model though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 i have CCW, they're made of aluminium and hard to keep clean in the winter but they do look awesome. Can you post pics of your choices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 i have CCW, they're made of aluminium and hard to keep clean in the winter but they do look awesome. Can you post pics of your choices? If you are using larger brakes and different pads that might be worse too, will mean agood clean after each trackday!

Tones Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 ccw have some lovely rims, but for the money the axis hiros are a very classy rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyW Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Not got any of the front wheels straight on, this was the best I could do it's a cropped photoshop effort that I've increased in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyW Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Johnny your car is absolutely stunning. Thanks Gaz It's taking a while and a lot of pennies to get her looking the way I wanted as it started out as a pink accident damaged Supra. Now it's time to start performance modding, BPU here I come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I am still on the wheel hunt. Current considerations are CCW SP500 Axis Hiros i forged Trials - painted silver centers Anyone use these? and how did you find them for keeping their looks, staying in shape etc? I'd find out the weights of the wheels too, as I know handling is very important to you. I would personally go for a quality set of forged wheels.
