I like this picture! Thanks for sharing!I want to say CCW, it's kind of hard to tell.
They ran CCW endurance wheels on those cars, but also another (CCW) design.
This is my opinion, and I don't know that it's shared by others, but IMO since "John the Wheel man" sold CCW to Weld their service hasn't been that great, At one time they were the best wheels money could buy, they were like the M1 Abrams of wheels when it came to strength and they would machine custom offsets from 50K psi per square inch billet.

I went over to the shop in Daytona when John the wheel man still owned CCW, they take a piece of billet that is formed by compressing aluminum to 50K psi/inch to form it
once they establish center they put them on the shelf awaiting orders

then they start hacking away at it

If it's a 2 piece wheel, it will look like this, not much aluminum left

then they create the ring, in different offsets to bolt to it

this one was rejected, but you can see how they bolt together

the one piece wheels are completely machined and start the polishing process

they are finish polished by hand

there. more info than you ever wanted to know about wheels
Yes they doWanna know how I know we are running on a different budget?! Hell, my first thought was where the hell would I store all these wheels!
Question, you may not know. When they machine them, do they recycle the shavings they remove? I assume so, just never thought to asks.
