CCW Sp16a Wheel

What do you guys think about this wheel. I have heard nothing but good things and they are not that expensive so if I cange my mind down the road I won't care. Plus, I would get a set of classics for the rear for DR's.

Those look nice... same style as the HRE 840r.

It says on that page "prices starting from $2500 per set". I actually think that is kind of expensive for a 1 piece cast wheel.

I think they are forged, this is what it says next to the wheel:

construction
1 Piece forging
6061-T6 Aluminum
CNC Machined

The wheels weight about 22 pounds each and have a life time backing no matter who owns them (important if you resell).

Can't go wrong with CCW. I have set now. Very happy with them.

I really like the idea of putting 295's on the rear. Anybody have the sp16a's on an E? They are very popular with the Vette guys.

And because they are for your "beast" you should feel good knowing they are made in Daytona, better known as the "gateway to Hell".

That's one of the styles I had seriously considered before going with my Iforged. Good choice!

Stock rims ar MUCH heavier, about 29 lbs each. See link to Tire Rack: http://www.tirerack.com/servlet/Call...filterSpecial=

amgplayer, I don't know about your E55 but mine is a "little angel" At least until he gets a good drink of gas.

I have the SP500s. They clear just fine with no problems. If you don't lower the car 19x9 in front and 19x10 in back work great. If you do lower the car you just have to check clearance. Mine is lowered but then I had to lift my rear a little to clear the wheels. These SP500s I have are from vrus.

There forged. $2,500 is a great price IMO.
