At least for me, if money was no object I would go with the Forgeline Center Lock wheels. To me they are better looking that any five lug wheel out there.

If money is no object, but you want to spend it wisely for the concave latest styles you can't go wrong with Forgestars. I have a set of these coming in any day now for my C5...custom made fitment and finish for around $1500, very light, modern designed 5 spoke (never goes out of style) so easy to clean!...sorry, you can't pay more....











If you want them 'busier' get this design....



Myself, I've gotten tired of the lacy designs that are hard to clean...it's back to basics for me so I can enjoy driving instead of detailing.

If money is no object why a C5?

I like my TSW Nurburgrings, Gunmetal w/machined face.

[QUOTE=DNAST1;1582885411]IMHO CCWS are dated and over used to where they seem like stock wheels. iForged are getting there too! They are quality wheels however. Need to come with some new designs! Here are my Modular Concepts 04 19/20 combo that come in many finishes. Will not see every Tom, Dick, and Harry with them either because they are not cheap!




Look like the stock wheel IMO. I went with the ZFORCE wheels. Get something different man that CCW's if money is no object

My favorites are still the CCW 505a, SP500 or SP510 - I'd have a tough choice deciding which one of those to get.

They have been discontinued. The 595RS has replaced it.

I have iForged Evos currently. I think I would buy a set of CCW's if I was shopping around now. When I bought mine, CCW's were not available to my knowledge.

Coming from a guy who has owned both the CCW SP500 and the HRE (Current). My choice is clear.. HRE all the way...



Former CCW...

Just the wheels...

Those are 360 Forged Concave Mesh. And don't confuse some of the CAST aka Rotary Forged wheels with true 1 and 3 piece Forged wheels from companies like HRE, Iforged, 360 Forged, Modular Concepts etc etc.
