Pics of my CCW wheels mounted
I bought a set of CCW's from Cory Jump last week unfortunately one rear center was cracked, but he is paying to a new one.(Good guy)
They are the original CCW's, they are 17's but they have the 16 inch centers. I had some tires mounted today and threw them on the car today. I ordered some black lug nuts today and I am planning on replacing all the nuts around the lips with black ones . Any ideas where I can find these? They are 13mm Any thoughts? I like them but think they would look better with a ducktail and black centers. Looks like I'll be buying another ducktail (glad I just sold mine !) ![]() ![]() ![]()

They would look awesome powdercoated or anodized *all* black, with no polish too.

sinister. Black centers would look good, but I like the all-polished look. Maybe when they get faded and frosty looking you can have 'em redone, but right now they're tits.

I like 'em..
I think the polish works well with the tail and valance that you are running. Maybe some black centre caps with the black lugs and bolts would be nice..

I would not touch them. Your car looks stunning as it is.
Ducks are for pre-impact bumpers in my opinion. |

I would go with "anthracite" or gray on a black car. I like black wheels but too much "Vader" can be a bad thing.
Also, I think with the impact cars if you want to run a duck, especially on a widebody go with the IROC bumpers front and rear and lose the rocker cladding. Go look at some pics of the IROC cars with ducks and you will see what I mean.

Looks good as-is. Would also look good with the center webbing in black. Either way I would not change the fasteners. I would keep the turbo tail since you have an 80's wide body.

For what it's worth, maybe $0.02, I prefer black centers on white cars and polished centers on dark colored cars. But, hey, it's your car.
![]() So-so picture, I know. But I didn't take it and my new pictures haven't been downloaded yet. Okay - a slightly better picture. ![]()

Very nice look.
Since you asked.....leave 'em polished w/ turbo tail. No need to jump on the RS clone bandwagon, if your ride is already hot. If wheel centers are painted black, they'd just look like every else's fuchs (incl mine). Anthracite/gray centers would look nice too, as mentioned above. Different, yet aggressive/racey look. Sometimes I get the urge to do something , just to do something (eg change whale tail to duck), but change isn't always good.

Yeah that car's just about perfect. Only thing I might do is it looks like your hubs and lugnuts might have a bit of surface rust? I'd paint/powdercoat them black and call it a day. Love the mods, all tastefully done and work very well together (mirrors, tint, lenses, wheels, front valance).
beautiful.
