Default A Wheel Like No Other

The CCW Build
Front 18x10 offset unknown
Rear 18x11 offset unknown

So I finally got my hands on the wheels that I been wanting since I first got my S2k, the CCW LM20. In my opinion this wheel is one of the best lookin mesh wheels on the market. I absolutly love the shape and edges of the faces on these wheels.

Now thare is nothing like taking something from trash to class. The feeling I get when I build or rebuild something on my own is beyond words. I'm gonna try and take this to a whole nother level with this set of wheels. This my be a long bumpy ride but I'm in it for the long haul. Lets do this right the first time and blow minds in the along the way.

The goal is to rebuild the wheels and customize them in a way that i have never seen before but still fits my liking. I'm thinking outside the box and nothing will be typical about these wheels.

Well enough talk there will be time for that later here are the wheels as they sit right now


This is the worst wheel out of the set.

As you can see the lip is bent way beyond repair and need to be replaced.


Two of the wheels have slight bends in the lip, as you can see in these two pics.



one of the lips look as if it can be repaired without replacement and the other has a lil rash and will also have to be replaced.

The last and final wheel is perfectly fine. Nothing needs to be replaced or repaired on it.



Now I know your wondering what happened to these wheels for them to be in this condition, well the previous owner spun out in the rain and this a curb. Ended up goin up the curb then back down. The right rear wheel took most of the impact as you can see its the worst out of the set.

I will update the thread as the build progresses. I will do my best to take pics of every step that is taken in this process. But until then feel free to throw out ideas that you may have and stay tuned this will be a build of biblical proportions
