Wheels
Need a little information regarding wheel quality. I have narrowed down my choices to the Cray wheels, the TSW wheels or the Centennial wheels (reproduction from House of Wheels). Prices (shipped) are pretty close with 1040, 944, and 899 for the above 3. All the wheel choices look great IMHO. What I'd like to know: Which are made in USA? Which hold up better/stronger? And last, if you had a choice of a free set [not from me
from your guardian angel
], which would you take?

Cray sure has a strong reputation and understandably, might cost a bit more. Lots of TSW product out there on a wide range of vehicles and certainly, a high confidence level with House of Wheels on products and service.
Seems like a good choice to have- all three good products and sellers - - flip a coin and post a picture when you get `em mounted up.

Not sure there are any parts left on the Corvette that are made in the USA?
Everything I have seen stamped so far was from some other country, dash cluster from Japan, alternator from France, fender skirts from Canada, others from Mexico, etc

If you wouldn't mind, pricing on standard wheel sizes for my '04 Convertible and, if available, 18x9.5 and 18x10.5. On the forum or send me a PM. Thanks.

Cray makes a nice wheel, but of those three my top choice would be the TSWs.
