I have a set of the Cray Scorpions in Chrome on my 04 and love them. Get a lot of nice compliments too on them.

I installed the the Cray Chrome Scorpions. I think the Mantas look great, too. Cray makes a great wheel at that price range!

Not for everyone, but if they would have had these when I bought my last set of wheels, I would have gone with them...Cray Hawk Matte Black Wheel..

I have Hyper Silver Scorpions, 18/265 and 19/305. Very happy with them. The offset is perfect. They are noticeably cheaper then the Chrome version.

Have talked to a number of owners of the Cray wheels at some car shows I've attended. Very positive comments from them on the quality of the wheels and they looked very good on the cars.

I second that, does anyone know the weight of these 2 piece Hawk rims. I understand that the Manta & Scorpions are very heavy.

If the "Hawks," (Matte Black) were available 6 months ago I would have had them, but they either weren't available, or I overlooked them . I'm thinking they were not available.

Those Hawks look nice.

I don't care for any of the other designs though.
