Took 6 weeks, but they are finally on.....forged CCW C140s....OEM size in hyperblack powercoat (medium gloss - black in some light, gunmental in others)....about 21 lbs each....out the door with Michelin PSS for total of $4100....not cheap for sure, but at $775 per wheel, very affordable for forged

Hmmm what were the before's? OEM? These look good, but not sure I could justify that much moneys!

hacked up OEMs...and I needed new tires ....so to me, it's spend $350 for Hartmann or something like that or an extra $400 per wheel for forged...so according to my math, I only paid $1600 more than I would have for a lesser quality wheel

Nice, not a big fan of the look but, function over form!
Whats up with your brakes? The rotors look damn near new and the pads are dragging in 3-4 places.... or are the pics before they were bedded?

Are those 18" or 19"?
It might be that they are soooo new, but they look deceptively small (no offense)?
Center cap needs the rings ;)

Like the look. Black is very good looking.

i somewhat agree... seems "un-original" without the rings.

18" OEM size....CCW wouldn't engrave logo on center caps (something about copyright infringement)..need to find a way to get that donw
