Work...very nice rims! While I am not a fan of the stretched tire look, you did do a nice clean job. Also, beautiful looking paint!!!! Loving the badgeless look!!!

Shot peened and anodized silver (any particular shade)? Is there any kind of clearcoat on the centers?

Nice work...

Just curious - How long was the wait from the day you ordered? How was your experience dealing with CCW? Thanks

Roughly 1 month.. turn around time is usually 2 weeks.. but they had to remake my faces a couple of times.. brushed aluminum is a pita. Nevertheless.. it was still a short time compared to other companies.

John and Chip were the ones helping me order.. they are cool people and communication is great. I needed the wheels by mid-july.. well by last Saturday, and they stayed at work late on Friday to finish up the wheels and send them overnight so I can get them Saturday morning.

The centers have clear, the lips don't. thanks again for all good words

WOW! That is awesome. I am in the final stretch of waiting over 5 months for my Works. Tracking number says they'll be here on wed. We'll see.

I've never herd anything but good things about CCW customer service. I think I will definatly be going with an american wheel next time I order wheels.

Did I mention they look awesome on your car!?

I got the VS-KF's... in burning black (black chrome face with polished lip)

18x9 +13
18x10 +7

That phone call is priceless man! Really good to see more and more SC owners pushing the limits of wheel fitment. Definatly not something you see everyday.

Looks Awsome!!!!
As a wheel fitment freak myself I'm giving u mad props on ur wheel/tire choices.
You're right that there aren't many shops in ny knows how to stretch tires. When I told them to mount 215s on 9s and and 235s on 10s they thought I'm either crazy or don't have money to buy wider tires.lol haha anyway, you'lll love the instance response of these setups, just watch out for curbs & our famous nyc potholes.
