I have a set of chrome scorpions on mine but I bought the car with them already on. I'm not a big chrome lover but I think these wheels are very nice quality and the chrome is in excellent condition. You could probably call the company to find out where they're made. I don't know that.

CRAY WHEELS are a corvette only wheel company. the quality and fit are top quality. they have been a solid company for many years. for the money, they are one of the best wheels out there for corvettes.

They are made by parent company TSW, who has several sub-companies that offer wheels for specific brands.....Porsche, BMW, etc. They are cast wheels made in China. I have had few sets of these on different Vettes and they seem to be a notch above most Asian-made wheels.....although they are a bit more expensive than your average repros.

I had no problems with them (that's more than I can say about some other repros I've had) and a forum vendor, Corvette-Wheels, offers them at excellent prices with Nitto INVO's. The 19/20 combo on my last C6 looked amazing and the NItto's were incredible tires. I'm considering another set for my latest C6. .Some pics of my previous cars with Crays:

They are heavier than stock. I had a set on my C5 and loved them. They are hub centric and made ONLY for the Corvette.

I am actually considering selling mine. They are great wheels, and I liked them a lot, but I now want to go for a different look, and am looking to buy black wheels. Let me know if you are interested in purchasing mine. see pics below..

Have a set of Manta's on my 08 Coupe. Excellent chroming and balanced out nicely. Quite pleased with them but had about a 5 month wait as they were backordered but the Manta's had just been introduced at that time so don't know if this is still the case. Think you will be pleased with their quality.
