Why do you viper guys call CCW\'s Pruners?

I know that's John's last name and all, but everyone I've ever met knows them as CCW's. Seeing as that's the name of teh company it seems logical to call them that (Complete Custom Wheels). Just curious b/c it seems that only you viper guys call them that.

Nobody calls them Pruners. His last name is actually spelled Purner.

Mods: vortex, 2-tip stingers, hurst, black Purner's

One less syllable. 33% more efficient to say Purner. BTW, I bet those black Purner's look sharp against the Millenium Yellow.. :D

Re: Why do you viper guys call CCW\'s Pruners?

John Purner is a really great guy, who knows tons about tires and wheels. When there is a fittment problem, he always has the correct and proper answer. His wider front wheels with 315's really enhance the turn in, and balance of cars on the track.
John usually appears at Viper track events. We just got used to ordering from "Purner". Few of us even knew the name of his company, just that "Purners" wheels were strong, light, well made, and very reasonably priced.

When a supplier offers exception service and support, they tend to make a name for themselves.

As simple as that.

Like what these guys said. John worked closely with us early on and we got to know him well. I didn't know the name of his company until a couple years afterwards.
