CCW C10 Wheels - What's the best finish?

I will be ordering a set of C10s for my silver 996 GT3. They will be wrapped in NT-01s. What finish should I get? Painted silver? Any pics of your favorite color/finish on a silver car? Thanks.

i think I saw a pair forsale for a great deal over in the rennlist classifieds. If your cars silver I would be buying black wheels for track. Black wheels Best suit silver cars

I prefer the look of silver wheels, but for track wheels it makes sense to get black to hide dirt/dust.

Great track wheel. I guess I'm mistaken but I thought CCW had eliminated making wheels for Porsche applications? Must have been misinformed.

Annodized finish should prove more durable for track work vs powder coat. I believe you have a choice of titanium or black.

You are correct, sir! That's what I ordered yesterday after counsel from John at CCW. The powder coat cannot handle the heat generated from brake debris. I went with the peened titanium. Should have them by next week. Thank you.

Friend of mine bought the black wheels and they turned a funny shade of black/purple.

^ The CCW's flat black finish always look like that, especially in the sun at certain angles. I prefer the gloss black finish for that reason.



Also, I personally prefer the c14's.

Those silver C14s look very nice on that black car.

Has anyone seen CCW's with the anodized brushed black finish in person? Curious how it looks.

Great choice in wheels.
I have a set and about "this close" to order a second set.
What sizes did you end up getting?
