I've been thinking alot of getting CCW Classic wheels. I understand that they are made in custom sizes, but most of the ones i've seen were wide wheels with low offsets. I think I've read about a few s2000 owners running these wheels a few years back and reading some posts but I don't recall seeing the wheels on the car.

I'd appreciate if some one would help out with the following?

1. For a 17" setup, what widths and offsets should I ask for?
2. How much of a rim lip / hoop should I expect?
3. Will the spokes be flat (due to high offset), or slighty bent inwards towards the centerbore?
4. How much should I expect to pay for these wheels?

and ofcourse, if anyone happens to know of a picture of these wheels of on an S2000, please post it..


Thanks

 

I emailed them and asked if they could make me some wheels, 8" front and 9" wide rear. They replied the following. 8.5 with a 50mm offset isn't quite what I wanted, so I didn't pursue it further.

"There are limitations of the rim shell contour. Since 1" is the smallest
available, to make an 8" wheel you have to use a 7" inner. To hit 50
mm offset you need 6.5" backspacing which will mean a fairly thin pad,
yet brake clearance requirements will necessitate a thick pad. For the
classic series we produce, 50 mm offset isnt doable until 8.5" wide.

If you are going beefier, i have done 9" front and 10.5 rears for guys running slicks, but if you want to upgrade the brakes also that will make things more difficult."
