Most have already made the valid points; reasonably priced, fairly good looking and fairly heavy wheels. I don't like them being made overseas, but you pay a lot more for domestic or European wheels. If you can't feel the performance difference and like the look it's hard to not like their price.

I'm sorry to say I don't have any photos of my set up but I have the Cray Scorpion Chrome wheels, size 19 front and 20 rear. Too say I'm happy with them is an understatement....they look great, I get compliments everytime I take the car to a show and as far as the "added weight" forget about it....its impossible to even notice something as small as what others have claimed. Buy them, save money and look good...you can't loose.

I was going back and forth between the Cray's and the CCW 505's...I finally decided on the CCW's...for about 1k more you are getting a forged rim versus a cast, a better rim?, I don't know, but it is made in the good ole USA...good luck on your choice...

For those saying they are "a lot" heavier, are you going stock size to stock size (i.e. 17/18)? Or upsizing when you go to the Scorpions (i.e. 18/19 or 19/20)? Are you going from polished to chrome?
I really like the CCW 505As, and would be willing to spend the money on them, but they don't offer them in stock sizes and I really don't want to go to 18/19.
As to price, from East Coast Corvettes, the silver Scorpions are $995 and the 505As are $2600.
