After riding on Fikse profil 5 after almost 2 years I sold them to give my GT500 a new look. I had 18's with the Fikse to run the Mickey Thompson ET street II. Back then they didn't make 19 inch drag radials and with the 700 horse power I made back then with the Kenne Bell, I wanted more traction. My car has been undergoing a different build with a Twin Turbo Setup and a built motor. Along the way I purchase a set of WELD RTS drag pack with mickey thompson ET street II to get more side wall for my new found power.
Here was my setup with the Fikse:
Here is my setup with the WELD RTS Drag Pack.
Recently some one offered to buy my Fikse's at a good price so I sold them and then I went shopping for another set of custom wheels. Having owned some CCW's in the past I knew about the quality that CCW carried and I like dealing with John the owner. So I called him up and to talk to him about my next set of wheels.
Initially I wanted some LM5 wheels but the biggest they made those wheels were 18's and I didn't want to go with another set of 18s. So he suggest some monoblock wheels. The monoblock wheel wasn't really the type of wheels I was looking for. I prefer the look of multi-piece wheels so John brought out his new stuff he's been playing around with. He made the design of the monoblock wheels in a hybrid 2 piece version. When he showed me pictures I fell in love. He made a 1 wheel prototype for pictures purposes and so those pics made me hooked.
John said that my order was his very first order of these Hybrid line of wheels. I can't wait to get them and put them on my car. I will post pictures once I receive them and mount them on my car.
Here is a picture of the manufacturing process of CCW making my wheels from start to finish:

CCW just got my wheels back from powder coating, I can't wait to receive them. To bad my car is still down for my build.
Mounted with Mickey Thompsons 305/35/19 ET Streets.

These are my wheels test fitted on a car local to CCW.
John at CCW try to find a GT500 to put the wheels on. The guy that said he would come didn't show up. So he had to find a 5.0 to test fit on. And then he did this photo shoot. I have to say I'm real excited and can't wait to receive the wheels.
