Claus ettensbergerFounder & PresidentCEC

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!

Guten Tag

Made in GermanyunCompromiSing Quality

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.
