These are obviously CCW 505A 19s, staggered. Some will ask, so Ill pre-answer - My quarter panel lips are untouched and ther is NO RUBBING NO RUBBING NO RUBBING, NO HUBRINGS
I properly tested for rubbing, and there is none.
The fronts are 8.5in wide with 245s
There is not rubbing
The rears are 9.5in wide with 275s
There is not rubbing
Tires are Toyo T1R
There is not rubbing
These use the factory center caps, and it looks quite neat in person.
There is not rubbing
I was totally blown away when they were put on over at CCW. When one side was done, I was saying "These look...." and I just couldnt find the word to explain how brilliant these look on my Spice goat. Oh, yeah, these are way lighted than my stockers. I compared a rear to stocker and there was a very noticable difference.
There is not rubbing
thedak - NOW you can say CCW FTW! :p

[baadgoat]

Wish I had a shit ton to spend on wheels...haha

[blubrdls1]

They look great man! Im jealous... BTW did you have to roll the fenders in the back to get them to fit? j/k

[r0nd3L]

Looks nice. Any rubbing?

[ShelbyGoat]

Geez.....looking good man! I would love to have a set of those for my PBM! as I am still searching for the perfect wheel...haha...

[Poke GTO]

Nice... I so need to paint my garage floor! Does this help with the rubbing?

[CYCLONER]

:wall:I shouldn't ask but i will anyway how much did those bad boy's set you back?
By the way those are flippin sweet !!

[USCGTO]

They look remarkably awesome.

How much did they run you for, The CCWs and the Toyo tires?

I so want a ro rubbing set up, and ur post was shouting that all thetime. So yeah how much?

[devwil68@hotmail.com]

yes..i found something you didnt address...jk, but what was the BS on the fronts and rears? 50+????

[NeroGTO]

Looks good, whats the offset?

[purplenurple]

Thanks for the props guys. Did I mention that they dont rub? Also, did I not mention that these are 1of1 505As, since they are the only 9.5in rears with stock caps ever made? For those that might ask in the future, there is no rubbing :p

Didnt ask John about the offsets, because they dont rub, but Ive heard that they are 52in the rear and something like 42 in the front. Check ccwheel.com for pricing on the wheels. John got me the Toyos for $850, which is a helluva deal.

THanks again for the props. Ill put a coat of sealant on them tomorow and dress the tires and post better pictures.

[tony parker]

I can't wait until tomorrow.

[lokoo]

fucking niceeeeee wheels. mannn congrates might have to get me a set and join the CCW club!

[purplenurple]

Do it, lokoo!

I can't wait until tomorrow.

Whats tomorow?

[lokoo]

purple u dont know the offsets?. the rear lip doesnt look that deep is the way u wanted it?.

[SHS]

Meh. They're alright. J/k! Nice job.

[jacket4256]

I love ccw the looks especially good on your color..... nice job get us some damn better pics these dont do justice

[Batsallover]

CCW SP500's and 505's are my dream wheels, absolutely beautiful.

[PokeyGTO]

How did I know you would pull the trigger on some CCW... THey are hot.. but too much work for me.. kinda lazy!!

[MVDCGTO]

Wish I had a shit ton to spend on wheels...haha

CCW's are relatively cheap for custom offset forged wheels. Look up HRE's or Iforged and you will see they run $1500 a wheel or so!!! Still I agree, $600 a wheel is a lot of cash.

[1969 SS]

since you got a deal on the tires, maybe you can take some of the extra money and buy a dictionary so you can learn how to spell "the wheels" so you don't sound like a 3 year old.

just an idea

[thedak]

You actually bought some wheels.. :hail:

No $hit.......

Nice

They look great on the SRM

CCW :ftw:

[tony parker]

Do it, lokoo!



Whats tomorow?

SP 500s 18x8.5,9.5. That's why I was asking about the rubbing issues. UPS says it'll be here tomorrow. Your rims look great Purplenurple. More pics when you get time.

It's all about that purple huh?

[6.0zilla]

Looks great! Now get ready for all the work to keep them clean!.. :D Dont drive in the rain and DONT let water dry on them...Just some advice..lol

[Ronin GTO]

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/4185/ccws006cl0 .jpg
Is it just me or does that wheel look a bit...tilted? Maybe that's why there's no rubbing :stickpoke

J/K Probably just the angle. Sweet set-up. How's the ride? A big difference?

[BRAZEN06GTO]

Looks great...nice set-up!


Check back in a couple months...they will rub.:wall:

I have your exact setup on my 2006 GTO. Unless your rear springs are weak or sagging you shouldnt have any issues. Mine were weak and I rolled my fenders and hammered in the inside sheetmetal of the car first before I figured out it was the rear springs. Once the springs were replaced all is great now.

Get ready to find out what polishing is like, I love the CCW and would trade them for anything and would definately buy them again, but man let the road salts hit those wheels just once and you will spend 2 hours per wheels cleaning them back up.

[time2shine]

these are hands down the best wheels for the goat as far as fit AND look go. But the price is just ridiculous. Looking good man, congrats...

[Mikey340]

Noice!

[LIVEVIL]

Best wheels ever.

I dont see any reason for you trying to be a dick in every thread and correcting how people type on an internet forum. I mean, if you are going to correct someone, make sure that you at least put proper captitalization. It is obvious that I can spell correctly and that I was just having some fun with the title. GTFO please.

Good eye, but its on top of my interior cleaner. This means that if wont be finding its way to the paint or "t3h wh33ls"

CCW FTW!

Looks great! Now get ready for all the work to keep them clean!.. :D Dont drive in the rain and DONT let water dry on them...Just some advice..lol

Thanks. Im gonna be putting a few coats of sealant on them, so they should stay clean for a few months...hopefully.

J/K Probably just the angle. Sweet set-up. How's the ride? A big difference?

Its rides a teeny-bit more rough, but its not bothersome. I though that traction would be better with the 275s, though. Maybe I just didnt feel my stockers break loose before, because they were like slicks :gears:

The dude above is getting 9.5s in the rear like me. You have 10s, which are more prone to rubbing. THanks for the compliments, and I am hoping to figure out a way to make polishing less recent.

Amen, brother. Thanks

Best wheels ever.

Indeed. The car actually feels a bit faster with these feathers they call CCWs :drink:

Congrats.. They look great!!

glad to see you finally happy!



Thanks, I appreciate it.


Everyone else, thanks for the compliments. They really do look phenomenal. I am about to go a put a coat of sealant on them once they cool off a bit. I am uploading some quick pictures right now.

[soonergto]

Look awesome man, those wheels were meant for GTO's.

You might try some of this, I have heard it works well at keeping wheels clean, but never tried it.

http://www.thegsmstore.net/images/wheelshld_wheel1 g.gif

[Freedom_Fighter]

What a HUGE difference. Best aftermarket wheels for the GTO..hands down..I'll say it again..HANDS DOWN...

[eightysjay]

Sweet wheels what offset are you running and do they rub,HaHa.Nice very nice wheels.

[elmn8r]

You'll quickly learn that your car will now stay cleaner much, much longer, because you'll start avoiding rain and bad weather like the plague.

Nice to see you finally made a decision.

CCW SP500's and 505's are my dream wheels, absolutely beautiful.

I've owned both. /stuckupattitudezomglookhowgoodIambutnotreally

[purplenurple]

Lol. I live in Florida, so rain is unnavoidable.
elimn8r - Were the sides of the spokes on your CCWs polished like the faces? Mine are duller than the face and lip and machine marks are noticable.

[04blackgmc]

very very nice!

[Shu]

Looks great! Can you get those in flat black?

[purplenurple]

Mine are like that too, bugs the crap outta me sometimes because of the price they should be flawless...oh well, wonder if I can have them polished up somewhere?...Oh yea, and a sealant wont keep them them clean...it helps but not like armor. I used 3 coats of re-jex, worked ok for a couple months but wore off. Imma try zoop next.

Have you noticed any fine scratches on yours from maintenance? I washed them and put a coat of Duragloss 105 on them and I now notice micromarring. I know how to properly wash a car without causing marring and I washed the wheels the same way I would wash the body + wax with a quility foam applicator. It would really suck if these are easier to marr than our soft paint. BTW, I am planning on maintaining them with a spray sealant every wash (Duragloss 105, Optimum Optiseal, or 4* UPP).

[6.0zilla]

Ooooooo yea. lol. These wheels will micro scratch VERY easily. I only use micro fiber on them. And if you dont know already, dont wipe them down dry....Might as well use sand paper if you do that. You'll see how hard they are to keep clean really quickly...lol. Is this you rdaily driver also?

I used quality MF towels to dry and buff. If you cant wipe them dry, how do you get them dry?:sneaky: Its not like I wiped them with grime on the surface. And yea, its my daily driver....

THanks for the reading material. Do you use latex gloves for applying sealant as well? Do you use a poweball at first? Im ordering a Flitz MF ball tomorow....

[tony parker]

I got them today Purplenurple. I just got them on and guess what? THEY DON'T RUB!!! OMG, THEY DON'T RUB!!! Thanks for letting me know how they fit. Sorry about the crappy pics. The sun has gone down in Cali. Also, do you have locks for the wheels. If you do, where did you get them? I thought CCW would have included some but they didn't. Thanks...Tony

[purplenurple]

Wait...let me get this straight. The DONT rub? THey must have sprinkled pixie dust on yours. :p
I dont have wheel locks on mine...yet. Ill be looking into it. PM josh99ta about wheels lock info. The 500s look really good, BTW!

[bjs06gto]

Welcome to Club CCW!!!

So they don't Rub??

Neither do mine:woot:

You should take them to a professional polisher when you can! That will take car of the machining marks. My polisher only charged me $10 a wheel.

Just look at my Avatar

[bjs06gto]

C'mon Tony START YOUR OWN THREAD!!! with them kick ass wheels!:woot::thumbs:

Special congrats to you Tony. Really happy for you! I knew you would get your CCW's. Aside from myself I have not met anybody who keeps their car CLEAN as we do TONY or at least we try. Your Goat deserves those wheels.

Peace

lol. I meant when they are a little dirty, dont just go up and wipe them with a towel or anything when its dry.

[thedak]

Put on a Latex Glove.

Apply the polish with your fingers until it turns black and you can feel

the polish become less gritty.

Take it off with the MF.

Finally you got some rims...........I was tired of all the photoshop threads going around. Looks great.

[TJay74]

I will also say to only use a microfiber towel as well. I usually either take my air hose and blow them off ith air or go to the car wash and blast them off first, then polish them up.

I also would use nothing other than a full set of gorilla locks. That is what I have on mine, every lug nut is a lock.

[purplenurple]

Where have you other CCW guys been getting your locks? I think that I want some...

One more pic with the car and wheels even dirtier :(- http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/298/march1meet0 14yx8.jpg

[josh99ta]

I don't know how I missed this one. The wheels look absolutely amazing. It took you long enough but you definitely made the right choice. Now you know what I'm talking about with Spice Red + polished wheels, there is no better combination out there IMO.

[josh99ta]

Oh, and you want locks for sure. I got a set of 20 locks (every lug needs a key) for like $35 off Thunder Racing, then I bought an extra four locks, one for each wheel, that require a different key. So I have a locking lug on every lug on the car, four of the same on each wheel and one that's different. I almost got my CCWs jacked once, it's not happening again.

[purplenurple]

Thanks, Josh! I think that Ill get a set of locking lugs, mine dont look as nice as yours with the deep dish, so Im hoping that I wont have any theft problems.

And yea, Spice and polished wheels were a match made in heaven

[elmn8r]

You want Gorilla locking lugs. They look the best and serve the function.

IMO of course, but I mean it's 100% truth amirite??!!!

[purplenurple]

OK, Ill look into it. So...even you guys with the big lips like them? :wall:

[bleek]

those are undoubtedly the best looking wheels for the gto...good selection

+1 on that, I did the exact same thing. Also get a tilt sensor on your alarm system ;)
