any thoughts?
those sportecs are $5200/set and take 5 weeks. made by BBS though. apparently sportec makes the same rims in cheap cast and not so cheap forged. depending on application
Any idea who the CCW dealer is in So Cal? You may be changing my mind.

i think you purchase from them directly. no dealers. from what i can tell, you can get the exact size and custom offset when you order.
give them a call.

You guys changed my mind. I ordered C10s this morning in charcoal gray (for an arctic silver car). Should be about 3 weeks. I'll post pics when they come in. Thanks everyone - I get the best ideas from this forum.

Looks good. Black wheels always make your tires look brown though. If you get black, then a polished lip, or lots of tire shine every single day is a must. My old Gti I had black wheels and I hated that my tires ALWAYS looked brown. Sucked.

OK, here they are! Sorry for the lousy photography. They look much better in person and give a perfect stance (the pics have a kind of fish-eye quality due to some camera setting I guess).

The sizes are 18X8.5 and 18X10. I went ahead and did a tire package as well with Michelin PS2s. 245/40 front and 275/35 rear. I don't know the offsets but the folks at CCW are masters at this because they fit perfectly with no rubbing (I secured the e-brake cable a bit tighter just in case). The color is competition gray and they really make the red calipers pop. I couldn't be happier.

BTW - CCW has about the best customer service I have ever experienced. John called me the day they were delivered and insisted that I call his cell phone after installation that evening to let him know everything went OK (in spite of a 3-hr time difference). just about 3 weeks from order to receipt for customer made/painted wheels. Unbelievable!
