This is a photoshop of the wheels I am going to be ordering in 2-3 weeks. The angles are off a little bit in the PS and I don't have red calipers either. They are CCW SP500 wheels. I will be getting 18x10s up front and 18x11s in the rear. What does everyone think?

Thanks for the encouragement everyone :yup:
I know what you mean Shady. The guy that PSed for me, just chopped the wheels into my existing tires and the angles are off a bit. I just wanted an idea, and I am liking it despite its flaws :)

looks good to me, I wouldnt have known it was photo shoped if you didnt tell me. I like the tire height just te way it sits, also the red calipers look awesome. Although, I like the ZO6 rims you already got as well. The SS Camaro just looks good with almost any wheels.

I plan to keep the Z0 wheels as well, Tulsa streets suck and really don't want to damage a CCW wheel on the crappy Tulsa streets.
Chris did a great job PSing it, but wait till I post real pics with them mounted :love: :love:
Another Preston here btw, nice to meet ya :yup:

What kind of car is that red one sitting behind the cameraman? Looks kinda slick in the reflection on your wheels.

All I know is, SLP sucks when it come to a warranty, as so does LMPerformance.
I cant wait to see these wheels on your car, I feel like there has been so much build up. They better not look gay.

You and me both, I suspect they won't though, here is a gallery of cars with the same wheel:
http://www.ccwheel.com/files/wheelprofiles-model.php?id=sp500
I have to commend CCW on their customer service as well. I ordered these wheels yesterday at 9am. They called me back at 9:30am to discuss what tires I would be running and gave me their recommendation on sizes. When I got home from work that evening, I had the invoice already emailed to me.
They called me back first thing this morning and told me that my wheels were built on Monday and ready to ship out today. She did tell me they are slow currently and this is very unusual of them. Initially she said they would ship out on Friday. I bought the polish/clean kit that they offer as well. Late this afternoon, they called me back and gave me a tutorial on the recommended cleaning and polishing techniques. When I got home tonight, I had the tracking # from UPS with a scheduled delivery date of this Friday. :yup:

That sounds like excellant service. Ill have to remember them in the future.
I ordered a clutch from LMPerformance .com and got a bad pressure plate, but didnt find out it was bad untill after the break in time. Needless to say the first time I got on it, it slipped like a mofo. I called them up, was within 60 days of purchase, and they said thats SLP's problem, call thwm, Then SLP says thats LMP's problem. Even though the clutch had a 90 day warranty, I had to do a charge back to get my money back. They are both a bunch of crooks. After my transmission shop took pictures of the bad plate and wrote an e-mail to them telling them it was bad, they started to ignore me. I had just spent over 1000$ with them and they wouldnt even return my e-mails.
So every one stay away from SLP and LMPerformance, they suck.

those are some awsome rims and tires. i am wanting to get them or the c6 z06 rims. does that size you got scrub at all? what do you think the same size in the z06 rim would look like, with the same bfg tire?

No rubbing issues at all with them and had very very little clearancing issues to work out. Very good fitment. CCW does an excellent job with offsets and customer service as well. The C6Z wheels would look fantastic IMO with the same BFGs. One benefit of getting the the C6Z wheels is they aren't over populated like the C5Z wheels.
