The Cray Scorpions are nice. Always liked them.

But with the weight, I'd go with CCW 505a's. Although you're going to pay a lot more for them.

Default Cray mantas

My wife has cray mantas on her car and likes them,she is a very picky person with her car. If you don't need to squeeze every drop of power out of your car don't worry about the weight.

Default O.E. Center caps.....

Mr.Bill
Actually the original equip center caps fit the Cray wheels perfectly. I wanted to be able to use my CE centers with whatever new wheel that I pruchased. That was a determining factor when I was looking at wheels....

I fitted chrome Cray Scorpions but went up one size to 18/19s. I fitted drilled and slotted rotors at the same time

I've been very happy with the look which was the main aim. Like others I can live with the slight extra weight.

In use I don't feel any difference in handling despite dropping the runflats and moving to Toyos.

19/20 chrome mantas on my 02 z06, look great and fit perfect, however the weight was noticable when driving and they are a pita to clean, repeat pita to clean. did i mention they are hard to clean?
