Introducing new ‘Made in Germany’ forged
wheel collection including commemorative
anniversary wheel
Placed first in the Bullrun Rally from Montreal to Key

“Cars are my passion.
This is what I do.”
Guten Tag
This season marks the 25th anniversary of CEC. It’s been an amazing ride
and I am truly grateful to have come this far. I came to America as an eager
and ambitious young man with the goal to establish German automotive
tuning in North America. Nearly three decades later, I am proud to say that I
have accomplished that goal by pioneering Lorinser, AC Schnitzer, Techart,
Novitec, Antera, Azev and Remus to name a few. Throughout the years, I
have been able to hone my craft and channel my knowledge and passion
into my own brand of high performance wheels.
In honor of our past and a testament to our future, we are proud to return to
our roots and debut three new wheels through the CEC ‘Made In Germany’
Wheel Collection. These revolutionary wheels feature a state of the art two
piece forged process, utilizing the highest standards of quality control and
finishing unparalleled in the industry today. The c25 anchors this collection
and is the official commemorative CEC 25th anniversary wheel.
CEC enters the next era with an invigorated sense of purpose and passion.
We will continue to innovate and deliver best in class products that hold true
to our brand pillars of German design integrity and engineering, best value
and quality in the market, and uncompromising standards of safety at any
speed.
Thank you for your partnership and support and I look forward to many
more years together!

Uncompromising Quality
Made in Germany
State of the art manufacturing techniques and technologies
bring unparalleled quality and engineering standards to
our new 25th anniversary commemorative wheels. These
wheels use only high strength, low weight, aerospace
grade, silicon free T6-6061 aluminum forgings with a
high precision finish through specially designed jigs and oil
dampening to minimize vibration during the machining
process. Our wheels achieve maximum surface protection
by using an exclusive ceramic deburring process to ensure
absolutely smooth surfaces and edges to be finished in
a certified high quality acrylic clear powder coating.
Throughout the development process, Finite Element
Analysis is used to calculate stress and deformation to
ensure maximum security and safety while 3D Laser
Surveying using five high resolution cameras are utilized to
ensure the highest level of quality control to meet the CEC
standard.
