CCW 505A Rim questions

DJ Wolfe · December 21st, 2007, 12:53 AM

I'm new and, I would like to know if anyone can tell me if they recommend the CCW 505A rims in general and I got a good offer on 19x10 front and 19x11 rear. Will there be an issue with rubbing or noticeable performance loss over 18s? If anyone know stuff like what I need to do to keep the polished aluminum in good condition and stuff like that would be a great help! I was also thinking of getting a live wire tuner, any thoughts over excaliber 3? Thanks!!!

it all depends on the offset of the wheels. ccw wheels are very very nice . xcal3 ftmfw

I'll have to ask what the offset is, I don't think that will be much of a problem though. The main question I need answered is if there is a considerable difference in ride quality and performance going with 19's instead of 18's.
So, why the xcal3 over the livewire? Is just because livewire is a lot more expensive for the few extra features? I appreciate the help so far!!
I heard on a vette forum that you should avoid getting soap on polished aluminum, any thoughts?

im not 100% sure on the polishing part, but ive always taking it through the car wash, and then occasionally when i want them spotless i pull em off, and polish them with flitz, that stuff is the shit and will keep them bright for a long time.

as for the tuners, they are really all going to do the same thing, and realistically its just what the user prefers. sct is what i like and its very user friendly.

as for the offset, it will matter if your worried about any kind of cleanrence problems. yeah your going to lose some ride quality with the 19s but they will look badass. plus your still gonna lose weight over the stockers becuase ccw are really really light. lemme knwo if ya have any mroe questions

Thats for the info! As long as I don't need to worry about anything major with the upkeep of the aluminum, I'm happy! As far as the 19's go, well I think I'll get them now that I know that the performance won't drop because if my ultimate concern was ride quality I wouldn't have bought a mustang, since it is my second. Anyways, I'll keep this thread open to those who want to discuss CCW rims and such! Thanks for the help, I'm going to go ahead and get the Live wire and the 505A CCW 19" rims!!!!! I'll post some picks in Jan when I get them on. I'm in Mexico on vacation now, so until then!!!
