I've lusted after a set of CCW Classics ever since I first saw them on a Corvette. After speaking with John at CCW, I had a set built for me. They're built to AS autocross legal dimensions. So, widths and diameters are same as AP2 factory wheels. The offset os 6mm more outboard per wheel than the factory wheels are - this again is a stock class legal modification.
The weights for the wheels are roughly 16lb for the front, and 17lb for the rear. Not real exact, as the only thing I've got is a bathroom scale, but certainly light.
I only got two of them via UPS today, as CCW wanted me to test fit them to make sure they fit over the brakes. They do.
If i may ask, how much would something like that cost one of us if we were interested? Those look great!
They start at $2200 for the set. There are different options available for street versus track use, finishes, and that kind of thing. They're completely built to order.

they make them in a week!
Actually no, it was a bit more involved than that.
CCW Classics are typically 3 piece wheels. Well, given the S2000's aggressive wheel offsets in stock configuration (which, again, was a requirement for me), these are built as two piece wheels. The center section and the outer rim are one piece, and the inner rim is the second. Apart from that, they go together pretty much as normal.
Took about 2 1/2 weeks to get them made and shipped to me. At which point, since CCW had never done this before, they shipped me the two wheels you see above. Mostly to check and make sure the back side of the center sections clear the factory brake calipers. There's about a finger worth of room between them, so on Friday, I gave them the go ahead to make the second two.
Now that they know it'll work, the last two wheels should show up at the end of this week.
Proof of the light weight - again, not as exact as I'd like, but my kitchen scale doesn't go up high enough to weigh a wheel. About 16lb for the fronts:
You must be either really serious about A-stock or just straight in love with those wheels. I completely love them on corvettes and other domestics, but not so much on the s2k. To me the real appeal that they have for the s2000 is that you can run 10 or 11" wheels with offsets to fit stock fenders. Spending $2500+ for factory sizes and offsets minus a few pounds just doesn't interest me that much. Not trying to bash you or anything, just throwin it out there.
