i havent looked at their wheels personally. they are based here in daytona beach and on occassion they come to the napa i manage and buy parts. i think the smallest rim he said he would make is a 19 because the cost of materials is prohibitive to a cost effective wheel smaller than that diameter. apparently the twin turbo toronado that jay leno built has their wheels on it, so i guess if leno has em theyre of good qualtiy.

They have 18's too but one of the few that do 19's. They are considered by many to be the cheaper of the high end wheels. I have heard no complaints and plan on running them. The one issue that you will need to consider is that they are one piece forged and they don't have unlimited backspace options. Fitments are mainly for late model cars backspace wise. I am planning on running 19x13 rear and 19x9.5 up front model 505A. here is the website if you don't have it.

I Have 19x13 SP16A's with 9.625" bs on the rear of my 71 Camaro and expect my 19x10 fronts with 7" bs Monday. John at CCW is pretty laid back and knows his stuff. The bs range you are interested in may be workable, call him and talk to him about it before giving up. He has been a great help on rim fitment, as well as brake info. The 3-piece 18's are sweet but I needed 19+ for the front to have the wheel way tucked in and keep the car lwoered while clearing my upper ball joint (as it is I may have to cap the grease port ont he ball joint, the current 90 degree setup will never fit now).
CCW has increased their line of wheels since I first bought mine, and sometimes you can get killer deals on tires too. I am getting the 2 19x10's with 275/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sport tires for around $1600 shipped! Rims are $600/ea. and the tires are $180/ea. I will post pics in a week or so when I have all 4 on the car for the first time!!! For now you can look at the rears here:

Allen,
Cool, I might take you up on that! I should be able to get a camera from the neighbor and have him load the pics on a cd too! He's a semi-retired guy (ex-cop, lawyer, notary public, and more) so he has some free time... I've been too damn busy on the house with so many little projects it is killing me. My poor car is just sitting and waiting, like usual. Do yourself a favor and buy a condo, gives you a ton more time to live life away from the house!!!
I run CCW 18x11.5 (rear) and 18x10 (front) on my Corvette. I've seen nothing but top professionality from the company. There was a misjudgement on the offset for my front wheels and they took them back for resizing for no charge. Even paid the return shipping. I think it's still the best value out there for a pro 3-piece wheel.

I know of plenty of happy C5 owners with CCWs. You can get the classics in just about any size/offset you need.

how did you get that deal. I called him about 2 weeks ago and he told me 1920 or something for classics in 17x8 and 17x9.5. Thats a huge difference.

There may be a set of wheels sitting waiting to sell and you can get them for a great deal. I am not certain of this, but it is worth a shot. I know that my wheels are cut after speaking personally, so if there is a mistake made then the extra's might go for a good deal?

Actually that was one of ther reasons I asked about CCW is that I was quoted 2 different prices for the same exact wheels. I had called back as I lost my notes. When I found them the pricing was off by about $200 and neither matched their website pricing. Reasonable still just thought it was a little odd.

Hopefully these pics will work for you. I'll be using CCW classics with titanium centers on my '69 Camaro: http://www.vipimports.com/images/carsforsale/95Hardtop/005.jpg
Can someone reformat the pics so they open full screen when clicked on?

I don't know if John Pruner will do this, but maybe we could request a CCW group purchase over here: http://www.gpsuperstore.com/

Those are the same wheels I am getting from CCW. I went down to Daytona and talked to John a couple months ago and he was a great guy, also I saw the classics in and they are awsome. I will be getting the wheels hopefully in like two months.
