Spec on my CCW's.. does this sound correct?

[Guest ON3GO]

the rears weighed in about 18lbs..

nice and light i think for a strong 17x10.5inch wheel.

do you think its worth the 2 thousend they cost or do you think you would have been better off with something else

[Guest ON3GO]

no i dont think i could have got anything better..

looking at old posts i think i paid $1800 something..

look at all the big Viper, Vette drag racing, road racing cars and you will see CCW's on there cars. for the price its hard to beat, as other custom wheels can leave you spending 5g's or more!

i kinda wish i got 16in wheels, as i wanted a low, snug oldschool Z, but now im building something that has a touch of new school and oldschool look.

so im happy with the 17's and im happy with the WIDE WIDE tires

thanks for your help im going to be looking to get some pretty soon they are expensive but like you say its worth everypenny thanks alot and ill be another datsun rolling on ccw's

[RMZ8]

I have been thinking about getting these wheels for my Z - I have looked around and it seems that this is about the best deal for custom wheels for the Z's- I would be interested to know how happy you are with the deal and the quality of the wheels once you get them-hope it's all good!

[Guest ON3GO]

i have them already..

Did you do a lug swap or are these wheels made to fit the oem datsun lug layout?

[Guest ON3GO]

Thanks, Mike!

Resurrecting this from the dead a bit...

 

When I contacted CCW John recommended 17x11 rear with 5-3/4 backspacing. Everyone seems to be mentioning 5" backspacing. I'm wondering (with coilovers) if I'll have clearance issues. Since I don't have much experience with wheels on the 240 I'm kinda trusting John (@ CCW) and his knowledge. Anyone running 5-3/4?

Did you order yet? What style are you getting? I will be ordering mine in a month. Here is some info if you want to try to calculate your own BS / OS.

I am waiting to get my suspension together before I try to order.

 

Are you running flares? 11" seems pretty wide even with coil overs unless you are using some type of flare.

[Mikelly]

We recently installed a set on Jim McNemar's car so use him as a customer with similar setup for your application IF your car has flares... jim's car uses the 18X11 CCW and it fits with ample clearance for his coil overs.

Mike you don't have any pics of the 18's on do you? I am planning on a 335/30/R18 out back and 265/40/R17 in the front. I would love to see what the 18's look like...Rufus

[JaysZ]

whats the best offset to go for a nice fat lip on a 12" wide wheel?

I ordered the classic style with black anodized centers. I will be running VB flares (which are spec'd 3.5" in the rear and 2.5" in the front). If I'm doing my math correctly a 5-3/4" bs'ing gives me a -6.35 offset in the rear. The rear tires are 315/35/17's. They're gonna be WIDE.

I have that one saved as a favorite! lol

[EvilRufusKay]

Thats the same style I plan to get.

 

I like minimal chrome!! I asked about powdercoating the lip but John said it was not pracyical because of chipping/ road rash etc...
