Stuck on the choice between these two wheels - BBS E88 and CCW Classics. Both have their pros/cons. BBS are more expensive, perhaps rightly so, but offer less customizability and offer a less aggressive profile with their smaller front lips. However they have a tried and true build quality, whereas I've heard CCW's reputation has gone downhill a bit since they were bought out by Weld? Mocked up some photoshops based on other members rides: E88: CCW Classics: Both sets offer roughly the same size/offset combos. What are your thoughts? Anyone have first hand experience with either or both?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Im a huge BBS fan...original race car wheel...looks the authentic...timeless. The CCW could look dated.

I second this. BBS are classic.
I've have a set of CCW SP500s on my C5Z and I love them. I don't think you can go wrong with BBS or CCW.
E88s all the way. I would love a set of those on my 6-GT3.
In your photo the car with the CCW's looks nicer - lower offset, meatier tires... and I really like the custom front lip. You can't go wrong with either. BBS fit the 996 era look too.

That's the thing... those two sets are very similar in size/offset and tires. The concave shape of the CCWs and the apparent larger front lip do a lot for stance - whereas the e88s are more convex in shape, but their spoke style is more aggressive and angular. I agree, they do fit the time period of the car and should look timeless. Resale value on them doesn't hurt either!
Looking at the two photos......no brainer....BBS
I prefer the BBS because of the curvature. I feel the CCW face is a bit too "flat".

Between these two it's a no-brainer in my opinion: BBS. But it seems like neither of these is a perfect fit for you. Have you taken a look at the HRE 540's?
The I-beam cuts on the BBS cast some nice shadowing for visual depth.
