New wheels - Ccw classics

Picked up a set of these used a few weeks ago. Finally put them on.

I still need to refinish them and put a larger lip on the rear.

the specs are kind of off.

Front: 18x8.5 - offset 47 (running 3 mm spacer currently)
Rear: 18x10 - offset 34 (running 18mm spacer currently)

I'm going to add a 2.5" lip to the rear, which will bring me to 28mm. Could extend to a 3" lip but that'd get me to 22 and that i don't think would work.

Regardless, I wanted to get them on the car, see how I liked the style and color before completely refinishing them.

Muscular look as is. They do look fancy with polished centers though. Tough choice.

Proper width/lip in the rear...with brightly polished finish = winner. Don't like the CCW purple faded shot-peened look myself.

Ran Classics on my Z06. Loved them...till I got bored.

I use those same style wheels for autocross on my Boxster. Since they pretty much live in the garage and only see weekend duty, they are still black even though they are 12 years old!
I don't know if I could live with them as DD wheels. The rough centers are a bear to keep clean.
Absolutely *love* the look though! Congrats!

I like them a lot on your car. Currently running a set on my Viper. I couldn't choose a color either, so I just clear coated them.
