Default new wheels

Anyone know anything about Cray wheels? I've been looking for new wheels for some time now and they seems to be what I'm looking for:
- stock 17's and 18's
- exact fitment
- all chrome
- looks good
- decent price - $1700 for a set mounted, balanced and installed including 6% sales tax.

Any thoughts?

What model Cray?
Scorpions look good IMO. I think they are decent quality also.

I hear they are good wheels. They sure look nice ! I hear they are a bit on the heavy side though.

Have heard a lot of good comments about the Cray wheels. I like the looks of them and they do come in chrome.

They are nice looking wheels, they are a one piece cast wheel made in China. They fit just like OEM wheels, and in fact will accept the OEM center caps from either the C5 or C5 Z06. There are plenty of chrome center caps available from various sources that will give you the C5 logo and not the Cray logo.

They are heavy, but from what I've seen they seem to balance pretty well.

I don't know anyone that has Cray wheels. IMHO they are great looking wheels and I like the idea they come chrome plated.

Cray hasn't been able to get chrome for the last 6 months- they are local here in OC Cal (Cray- although have em made in China) - there are people selling them, but they are having the silver ones chromed- so watch it.

I have the cray Scorpion wheels!! you can get them in black, silver, triple chrome plated, or you can get the Manta wheels. They look awesome on a vette!! West Coast Corvette sells them, and I have also seen them in Corvette Magazine!! Well worth the money!!
