CCW's response when I just called to inquire on RS wheels: "wow! you're like the 5th person that's called today."

I say give a call if you haven't already (maybe not everyone today). At least they'll get a sense of demand.

You should get that looked at.

i use both BBS E88 and CCW on my RS for racing.

The CCW are not as light, but a hell of alot stronger! they are awesome track wheels, especially for the price!

I damaged two of my BBS E88's running a targa event. The lips are soft. This year im using my CCW for targa without a doubt.

I am a big fan of CCW. I had a set of 18x9/18x11 3-piece classic race wheels built for my 996. When I sold my 996, I sold the CCWs with it and the new owner (also a Rennlister) wanted them since they were built to perfectly match the car. I had an issue where I had a tire pop off a rim due to rapidly losing tire pressure one day at the track. The outer rim end was ground down when it hit the ground and the inner rim bent. I sent it back and for $350 including shipping, they rebuilt the wheel with new inner and outer rim halves. I sent it out on Monday and it was on the car by the end of the week. Fantastic customer service. Try getting that out of Forgeline or Fikse.

I am also now a much bigger fan of 3-piece wheels than 1-piece. With a 1-piece wheel, if you ever damage it you have to replace the entire wheel. With a 3-piece, you can replace a rim half for a fraction of the cost.

++1 for CCW. I have CCW C10 for my 996/GT3.. They more bullet proof than the car and they stand behind their stuff. The gold standard for me. I have 55+ days on my first set of C10's (Track Only) and they are perfect.

That's good on paper, but what I've seen is that once you've damaged the outer rim halves, you need to get the center professionally crack tested. Even then, it can still develop faults leading to a catastrophic failure. I saw this with a Jongbloed cast wheel two weeks ago at Thunderhill. You might use this example to justify going to forged centers for example or just treating any compromised wheel as not worth the risk.

FWIW, I've heard of similarly impressive customer service from Forgeline, but not Fikse (though I imagine they have their advocates, too.)

I put 3 years on a set of CCW's at around 12-15+ DE days a year..not 1 single issue. I sold them and bought some used CCW's from Mooty and have 2 years on them. Not a single issue. Many people race with them and they are the absolute best bang for the buck.

Interesting points. First, the CCW centers are forged. Second, CCW checks the wheel centers and rim halves for straightness whenever a wheel comes in for repair. I knew the outer half needed to be replace when it was ground down. When the checked the wheel, they found the inner rim half was bent and the center was fine. It is far more common to bend a center than crack one. I can't speak for Jongbloed wheels as I've never owned them.

P.J.S.

i have a set of JBs but have yet to use them... bought them for my 996 gt3... sold it unexpectedly and I am having the wheels rebulit to work with my RS

the wheels are light and the service is fast... the product will be put to the test this season.

CGT, jongbloed is from morgan hill. and i am 99% sure that the centers are FORGED.

ok, i got my flame suit on.
i have had fikse, kinesis, CCW, jong bloed
those who think 3 piece wheel is cheaper to replace are dead wrong. if you hit a berm bent the halves lightly, just keep on driving. no leak no prob, it will balance out. if they are bent enough that they have to be replaced, then the center is most lightly bent. you many not see it, but if you measure the center, it's bent. this happend to me 5 times on fikses. and 50% of the time, if you bent one half, most likely the other half is bent too. so replace both halves and you are right at the price of CCW

CCW if forged once piece, about 3000/set vs 5000+ for most three pieces. if you bent CCW, YOU are probably toast too. i be more worried about my doctor bills. seriously.

of course, there are no free lunch. CCW is not as light as fikse or BBS, and dont look as "pretty". but thy are cheap and strong. i bought a set of BB$ motorsport wheels for big $$$ and we'll see how long it takes for me to bent them.

jongbloed is very very nice. they are in my neighborhood and i know ryan does good job and service. if not, i will drive over to his shop and bug him to no end until my wheels are done.

CCW, they have never failed to deliver me wheels with tires mounted balanced in less than 7 days.

BBS, i dont know yet. they are new to me.

fikse and kinessis, well, if you want to buy them, i got some for sale.

forgelines, heard good things about them, but haven't owned a set yet.

HRE, competition series looks good and light. maybe next set if they lower their prices to the point i can afford a set.
