Chrome or Silver?
I really want to upgrade my stock painted wheels. I love these the CRAY MANTA WHEELS and I want chrome, but I do not like the price. They do have a powered coated silver wheel that is $160 less (per wheel).
My questions is does anyone have these wheels in silver? Is it worth the extra price for the chrome?
Thanks

If you really want chrome, save up and get them - you'll probably be happier than going with the painted wheels. That said, I have seen some silver painted wheels that look very good - have you considered HyperSilver (not sure if Cray offers that finish though)?

I have all the options available for you for Cray and the Silver in the Manta is a big price difference.

1. Your C6 looks terrific!
2. The wheels really look great with that color.
3. Why are you wasting time posting pics of your gorgeous Grand Sport on the forum and not working on my interior!

Man I take 15 minutes to have some fun and I get caught
Thanks Bill.
I know they have started on some of the things now
The interior is going to look awesome. Those pics you send me of Dougs look real nice. Wish I could see the car in person!

I have chrome rims on my 02 and black rims on my 98. The chrome rims are easier to clean.
Awesome.
I'll be drooling over that car this spring while the lambo doors get put on.

No more Lambo doors for me on this one. I liked them but will never do it again
Just an FYI
there is plans to do a Corvettes on the River in Dubuque this September. Midwest Corvette Club is hosting it.

Oh Hello!!!
The new wheels look incredible on your car! I love the deep dish look and the silver and chrome lip are perfect with Cyber Grey. I have a CG Z06 which would look sick with the new Hawks, only if money would allow.
Lower the car a tad and it will be perfect!!!

The car has to settle a little more as well yet. I just drove it down the street about 2 blocks to take some pics in the sunlight. So with it dropping a bit more yet and the Cyber Gray side skirts I have coming it will make it look a lot lower
Now back to our OP's thread request which I didn't mean to hijack
