CCW Sp18's, what's wrong?
Hi everyone,
From all the great reviews of ccw, I decided to buy some sp18's(shotpeened anodized) for my 02 c4s. I was told that they'd be around 22 pounds for the rear(18 x 11) and 20(18 x 8.5) for the front. Of course, give or take .5 as they said it wasn't set in stone. I just got them today and the rears are 24.4 and 25. They're not even the same weight! fronts are 22.
So a few questions: Should I be worried about the discrepancy in the rear wheel weight? I bought these mainly as track wheels, thinking I'd get a light but strong wheel. These are definitely not light, and the weight mismatch worries me. I'm wondering if I should have gone with the oz alleggeritta for half the price. CCW's closed now, but I'm calling them first thing in the morning. Does anyone know what their return policy is?
Thanks,
Varun
