They are heavy, though, according to a dealer I contacted. I considered a set, but backed away only because of the added unsprung weight...IIRC it was 8 lbs. per front wheel, and 11 lbs. per rear wheel.

I don't recall exactly either, but there is no way it's that much. Obviously they are heavier than stock though, since they are larger than stock in both dimensions + they are chrome plated. If you switch to non-runflats at the same time, you'll probably come close to breaking even on weight.

I tried unsuccessfully to get the info directly from Cray, and they're buried deeply within the TSW wheel conglomerate. I tried every phone number on the TSW website, and could not reach even one live voice, therfore, I had to go on what the Buy wheels rep told me.
I'm not knocking your choice, as they're nice looking wheels, just too heavy, IMHO.

I paid $25 more and bought them locally the next day. Also... Cray doesn't even make an 18x10" wheel!

Not trying to rain on your parade, but..... The OE wheels are 20 and 20.5 pounds each, give or take a couple of ounces. I spoke with a sales rep from "Buy Wheels Today", an internet tire/wheel dealer out of Ohio. According to him, the 17x9 front Cray is 28 lbs. and the 18x10 rear is 31 lbs.
I tried unsuccessfully to get the info directly from Cray, and they're buried deeply within the TSW wheel conglomerate. I tried every phone number on the TSW website, and could not reach even one live voice, therfore, I had to go on what the Buy wheels rep told me.

I think on the sticky at the top of the page, it lists oe polished wheels weighing in at 16 lbs for front wheel @ 17x9.5, and 20 lbs @ 18x9.5 for the rear wheel.

I believe there were posts a while back stating the weight at around 24 and 25 pounds for 18-19 rims. I contacted somebody(forget the company) selling the Crays and they told me that the 19x10.5 rim weighted in at 32 lbs.

OK, so he didn't have them.... That doesn't mean he can't read a chart...something Cray should have put on their website. And, BTW, I'm sorry, I meant 18x10.5, not 10

The OEs and CCWs were within a couple of ounces of each other, at somewhere between 20 and 21 lbs, front and rear.

Tell me.....I don't race my car its just a daily driver etc. Have no concerns for numbers and times at the track ....so with that said, would it really matter to me to have the CRAY wheel even if it is 3-5-8 lbs. heavier than the others? Why would I NOT want this wheel?
Thanks for your advice.
