Which Cray's do you have (can't make them out on your avatar)? These are Manta's with "brush" finish & I never tire of them.....

Here is a forum member's car with Vossen VVS087 wheels. They also make a version of this wheel that have spokes with a machined silver face and black sides.

Another vote for the rotary forged TSW Nurburgrings (lighter and 1/2" wider than cast OEMs)

(about $1200/4 - 18-19 or 19-20 for C6 Coupe/Vert only)

front 18" shown with Brembo Big Brake Kit

This may be heresy, but I like the 2008-2010 silver painted split-spokes so much that I bought a set to replace the chrome Gumbys that came on our 2009. And then a second set so I could have A/S tires for winter.

Three years later, I still like 'em.

It doesn't hurt that I bought them on Craigslist for $300/set in like-new condition.
