I've been shopping around for aftermarket wheels. I've changed my mind several times. First, I wanted Fikse Mach V's. Then, I definitely wanted chrome Mallets. No, no, I mean I want Iforged Aeros. Nope...I really want Fikse Profil 5's. Well, you get the picture.

After several months, I've narrowed it down to three choices:

1. The new CCW SP500 in 19x10 and 19x11. Click the link for pics: CCW SP500 Link .

2. SSR GT3's in the satin finish. Clink these links for pics: GT3 Link 1 or GT3 Link 2 to show Satin Finish (Sorry its not a Vette) .

3. CCW Classics with Black Centers. Click this link for pics: CCW Classics Link .

Please vote in the poll and post any comments, suggestions, or experiences.

Thanks.

While I would have easily picked the Mach V or Aero's before any that made your final cut...of the ones we have to choose from, the SSR GT3 got my vote.

Another for the GT3...I like them...

Nice looking wheel cheap and light... **** to road hazards though.. almost went with them untill I found out they were clear coated..

javdaddy04

what problems does clear coating cause?? (trying to learn something)



ScottN...that's definitely an Infiniti G35, not a porsche ...unless I am looking at the wrong link


oh yeah, and the SSR's look the best of the three

I went with the CCW Track wheels for both strength & appearance, but I do run the car at the track.

I like the new CCW SP500. I may get them for my car eventually.

One of, if not the strongest wheels out.

Vetteran

Thats a tough call without having seen the SP500's on a vette. Based on
that, at this point I'd have to go with the GT3's. However if I were you,
I'd wait until John gets pics of the 500's on a vette then make the call.

Tombone

CCW SP20's

Blueyednd

But since that is an option to vote for, I like the CCW SP500 the best!

ScottN

I assume you're talking about the SSR's.

javdaddy04 - Yeah, its not a Porsche, duh...I had Porsche on my mind because my father-in-law is getting one. Oh well, I edited my post so no one will know what you're talking about now.

Everyone, thanks for the suggestions. Keep em coming.

ssr's are clear coated... a stone chip in the clear coat will sart the process of oxidation,, once the clear coat is broken and you try to polish out the oxidation.. you rub alittle more of the clear coat off... the clear gets cloudy
If you try to polish it too much and you wear through it.. you now have two tone aluminum wheels.. there is nothing uglier than aluminum wheels with the clear starting to come off.. when do you have them stripped and re cleared??..how much ugly are you willing to take before you get the tires dismounted and send them out to be redone..??? it's way more grief than I want to deal with.. The CCW 505's are top notch wheels.. not clear coated because CCW knows better.. uncoated wheels will always look new if you take care of them.. even some road rash can be handled and brought back to new status with little effort...

Good luck on making the right choice for you!

I went with the CCWs with black centers, because my car is black. I sort of twisted John's arm a little, and convinced him to powder coat the centers black, as I wanted a gloss finish.

After doing mine, he said that it was a lot of hassle, since the powder coater had a hard time getting the coating on evenly. Therefore, he wasn't doing any more, but I love the look!

ScottN

Looks like the CCW SP500's have made a comeback to catch the SSR's.

Just an FYI, I still really like the Fikse Mach V's but they barely missed out on my final cut. There's something about their lip that I don't like as much as my final 3.

The SP20's are pretty tempting as well.

ccsteve

I'm voting for the SP500s. Wait... am I allowed to vote?

Evil-Twin

Dont know why the CCW 505's arnt in this poll

Buckmaster

First pics are HRE 545's and the 2nd set is CCW's with black powdercoat centers......

MSD44

I would vote the SSR GT3's .... this is only because I will have then installed in about 2 weeks! But my seconed vote would be for the CCW's 505A
