I have the scorpions and i think they are a very good wheel. I have had them for 2 years now and the finish and quality has been excellent.

Ditto here - 2+ years with no problems.


Clearly, they are not in the same class as forged race wheels, but for what they are, they're excellent.

I understand these are cast vs some of the big buck wheels that are forged but as with many other posters, I have a budget and most of the big buck wheels are well outside it. Not looking for any bashing on the forum but your honest opinion is appreciated. If you would prefer to PM your input feel free to do so.

I just purchased these myself - I think they look great and I've already gotten a number of compliments. Of course, I don't know about longevity and such but I did alot of research on Cray using the scorpion style b4 purchasing them. I called Discount Tire Direct and had them order them - pretty smooth and quick, I also needed tires so they came mounted and balanced with the TPM's and lugs. I don't have a pic yet - I'm new to the site and still learning how to post the pics....good luck with your decision.
