There are minimum requirements that must be met for a wheel to be certified by various sanctioning bodies as well as what the manufacturer deems necessary for strength.
It looks awesome Ruben! Thanks for stopping by today. I'll have what you need tomorrow!

Another answer to the "who not different offset and now spacers" question is this - by the design and manufacturing process of the CCW wheels, the center sections can only have a certain amount of offset built into them (horizontal distance from hub mounting face to where they bolt to the rim sections). If you notice, every CCW you see, no matter the size or offset, the center section is pretty flat. Due to the machining/design, they can't get enough clearance behind the spokes without spacers. . .
