Does anyone have photos of CCW's silver or gray shot-peened wheels on their car?

This is what I thought. I currently have Fikse's on my 951 and was looking for a light and solid set of rain wheels...
Are they quite heavier than Fikse's? Does anyone has specs for a 17 x 8 or 17 x 9?
Thanks

FYI - I have run Fikse FM5's and FM10's over the years. The CCW's are stronger (less damage from an occasional curb hop,off, etc) and less expensive. Plus they are still what I would consider a light wheel, I believe those items make them a great value.
The ones that I have are also a 1 piece wheel so no leaks from the barrel to deal with.

Here are some close-up pics of the same wheels that are on the white GT3 at the top of the thread. Notice that the angle of the flash has an effect on the visible roughness of the shot-peened surface. On average, the roughness is not really visible to the naked eye beyond 10 ft., where it takes on a matte grey look. Check out the wheel that is furthest from the camera in the first pic to get an idea.
