CDC Wheels

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: monnieh

I really like these wheels. Unfortunately CDC is no longer selling them. They said "Bell Tire" in Michigan bought out what they had left.

Anyone heard anything about this?

Anyone have a set they would like to sell?

BTW: I want to paint my Silver LSE Leguna Seca blue, what do you think?

Posted by: T_Man

I don't know anything about Bell Tire.... but yeah, I really dig my 18" CDC wheels.

Laguna Seca Blue on a Holden car.

Not feeling that color. Looks too easter eggish or as i read "smurf blue". Blue is a hard color to pull off and look good, that blue is too pastel looking. For some reason when i see that color i think Geo Metro.

Thanks again.

I bought the wheels used 2 years ago, from a friend, when he was selling his LS and had them chromed here in So. Cal. I've always liked that style of wheel and thought it really complimented the European performance look of the LS.

Belle Tire is a chain here in Michigan. Their website is here:

http://belletire.com/

They are a direct competitor of Discount Tire, same products, services, and pricing. In fact, the stores are usually located very close to each other just as the drug stores are... Good luck!

Not CDC, but how about these Voxx wheels....

I have qeustion for everyone into these CDC wheels.

Whats the big deal with them, IMHO they arent anything special and if they are so custom then why do they appear to be knock offs.

Check out the similarity between the CDC wheels and the wheels on the new 2008 BMW M3! BTW the new M3 with the V8 is HOT!!

Thanks to Gator I found them! They are $420.00 shipped. That seems really cheap, or is that about what you would expect?

I wonder how much more these 18inch wheels will weigh than my stock 17's.

Posted by: Eliot_Ness_Ls

That is really cheap ( IMO ) for the hype I see these things getting. I expected at least just over a grand.

Hey where did you find the CDC's?? I looked but could not find them. This is as far as I got.... damn sites without search function.

OK, these are the 17 inch wheels, not the 18 inch wheels. Not sure if it's worth the trade for that. He has about 30 wheels left out of 200.

What do you think, is it worth $400.00 to just change the style of the wheel?

Do you have the stock chrome? I would keep that if I were you, unless you are looking for a more sporty look.

I have stock 16" wheels so I've been looking to upgrade. Did you have to call the guy to find out about the wheels? I could not find them on the website. They quoted you $420 shipped huh.... pretty good deal.

I finally got a response to my email I sent to Classic Design Concepts.... they said they sold a bunch to Bell Tire.... just a little late on that one I guess.

Posted by: monnieh

Yeah, I got the guys number up at work. I'll post it on Monday. BTW: he went to $400 shipped.

It would be worth the upgrade from 16 to 17. Not sure I am going to mess with it since I already have 17's. Now if these wheels are signifcantly lighter there would be a strong reason to buy them.
