Got a nice surprise from the UPS man last night at 8:15. I felt bad the guy was working so late with such a large delivery. Offered him a beer.

John at CCW is great to deal with. Turnaround time was about 2.5 weeks even with the tropical storms hes been dealing with.

245 fronts 275 rears. 17x8.5 and 17x9.5 No clue on the offsets John knew them off the top of his head.

Can't wait to get them on.

Those look nice. Are those the black centers or something else (hard to tell in the pictures).

mind weighing your front wheel/tire and rear wheel/tire? a home scale will do. weigh them by themselves, then weigh yourself, then weigh them w/ you holding them to check to see how accurate your scale is.

looks awesome btw!

Make your own Centercaps and have them painted to match the rim!

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that :eek:
It almost looks to me (being in the box business) that those caps are for shipping purposes, to prevent the side of the box from collapsing in on the face of the wheel ?? If not....
To paraphrase Rodney " Looks good on those wheels though " :hmm:

I actually just took a look at the center caps. The center caps are different sizes per the offsets. The rear centercaps were on the front wheels and the fronts on the rears. I switched them and now it looks a lot less obnoxious..

That sounds better !! The taller cap with a deep lip should be looking GOOD !!

Very nice! So what color are the centers? Are they black? They look gunmetal-like in the pics, but my understanding is CCW only offers black.

these are the black. Its probably the matte finish and the camera flash that makes them look gunmetal.https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2008/11/IMG_0569-1.jpg

The wheel centers compliment the stripes perfect! Very nice wheel/tire combo. I think the CCWs look great on your car.
