Question: TSW vs CRAY

[DrNavyRet]

I promise that this will be my last question regarding wheels. Which wheel (not in chrome) is preferred by most and why? TIA

You don't have to make those kinds of promises, we're not tired of your questions.

I like the look of both wheels, but I really can't say which one as most of the info I find on them is somewhat lacking. How do they compare in weight. I believe that both wheels look good, I'm more fond of chrome or polished myself, but I think that is because I'm "older". The younger generations seem to like the black or dark colored wheels.

You are not alone in the "older" category as I am 666 [oh that's 66 and 6 months] . BTW, I checked with the Cragar people because that was actually my first choice - the classic chrome wheel of the 60's. Unfortunately, they have no fitment for C5's. With CRAY, I like the chrome as well, but not to the tune of $160 over the std paint and SS or chrome lip per wheel; the TSW doesn't have a chrome option but it is supposed to be lighter in weight than the CRAY.

The end of the story is - I placed an order with Discount Tire Direct. TSW Nurburgring and General GMAX AS-03 in the stock sizes with new TPMS's mounted/balanced/new lugs. Total was 1693 - a $50 mailing rebate.

My sentiments exactly. The package is on its way to me so the only pics would be of my chrome thin spokes that I polished expertly a week ago and shod with "good as new" GY RunFlats with 8950 miles on them.

I guess I wasn't clear. Those are the original tires. The first owner put 7000 miles on the car and the GY RF's. He changed to the thin spokes when he bought the car and kept the original wheels which I have. I was "playing" with good as new theme for someone to buy the thin spokes and RF's or the original wheels from me
