CCW recommends Anodizing over powdercoating.



I only did half the wheel due to cost:



I love them on this car though...

Ccw top notch. John even warrantied a pr of nittos after bubbles appeared in inside of both rears after a track day. Sent him back tires. $ refund. Never had such good service and help. Also have a set of forgelines.

Ran Hoosiers and nittos on c10's. great

Has anyone heard back as to whether CCW is still making wheels in Porsche fitments?

Can't say whether or not John stopped making Porsche wheels but had herd he was fed up with guys challenging him with fitments and then wining they rubbed or what ever. Guys were calling him with odd requests when he knew the perfect fitments for 6 GT3 and had sold most probably hundreds of sets. When I ordered mine he said trust me and I did and I must say I couldn't of fitted any bigger and nothing rubbed. If he did stop because too busy with panoz series or other BS, that would be too bad.

Yup. On my Datsun everything is custom. the original bolt pattern from Nissan was 4x4.5 with a 6.5 inch rim. As you can see, it's been converted with custom hubs that I had machined to my specs and offset. So it was a little more effort on my end to get them the proper specs so they could make sure the rim fit my fender opening/flare. The rims were perfect and they were very patient with me in answering my multitude of questions.

That's excellent news, I'm ready to get some c14's myself soon for the new track season.
Does anyone know the best width/offset to use on the front?

I have 3 sets of CCW's for my gt3 one set were 11's and one of them cracked very old set that I got with the car, called John he said send it back so he could see it then he called back and made a new set of 12's saying 12's are much stronger. Great customer service, when I was ready for a set of track wheels for my zo6 he was the only call I made.

I just moved from 17" to 18" CCW's on my 964. Light, strong, and reasonably priced. No issues with them doing wheels for a Porsche.
