Wheels

I'm struggling over buying new wheels. I am thinking of going with OEM size Cray Mantas in black. I might get the lips painted VY. Has anyone got any pictures of black cray Mantas on a VY coupe? If not, has anyone comments on Cray Mantas?

I've never been a Cray fan myself. There are lot of good options out there for you. Chrome looks good on VY as well as CG and black.

Your wide booty looks great.I know Corvettes West, but I had a less than great experience there.

Had the Cray Chrome Scorpions on my C5 and they started pitting after 2 years and it only got worse. They looked great at first on the Spiral Gray but pitted bad. Cray are also heavy wheels.

Weight is a concern. The Cray website tells you very little about the wheels. I don't want Chinese reproductions because of quality and weight. Even some OZs I got for the wife's Mini were made in China, not Italy. The main problem is, I don't want to spend $4 or $5K on wheels.

Seems I tend to like the 4-5K ones . . . Guess that's why I'm just getting new tires only on Monday.

CCW's are about $2800 before shipping. Not cheap, but much less than $4K. One piece aluminum, VERY high quality, many styles, many finishes, and they KNOW Corvettes.

There's a vendor with monoblock forgeline wheels at around or under 2k. They look good too. On another note, black and comp gray wheels look the best on VY....JMHO.
