Corvette owners searching for aftermarket Corvette wheels that are bigger and wider than their OE wheels and that also add gobs of charisma and a personalized touch require look no additional than http://www.craycorvettewheels.com. Cray Wheels’ web site introduces shoppers to thirteen various combinations of models and finishes that fit 30 years of Corvette sports automobiles in diameters of 17, 18,19 and 20 inches and widths up to 12 inches.

“Corvette owners, a lot more than any other make, are obsessed with providing their vehicle a distinctive identity,” observed Cray Wheels President Terence Scheckter. “Chevrolet indulges this obsession with a lengthy selection list. We at Cray go a step further with a lineup of classic and cutting edge Corvette wheels that actually set Corvettes apart from the crowd.”

Focused on design and style, engineering and manufacturing wheels solely for Corvettes, Cray understands the vital value of attaining precisely the right offset, each front and rear, for each and every different wheel width and diameter. That indicates Corvette drivers can count on ideal compatibility regardless of whether they are in the marketplace for C4 wheels, C5 wheels, C6 wheels, C7 wheels or Z05 wheels.

Take, for example, the newest Cray wheel, the Brickyard model. Taking its name from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Brickyard is a paired five-spoke design, with each spoke emanating from the center hub at a steep angle. At the juncture with the outer lip, the spokes define a deep back-reduce barrel section. The Brickyard is presented in an array of stunning finishes, which includes silver with a mirror-reduce face, matte black with a matte machined face and in strong matte black.

A distinctive feature of Brickyard custom Corvette wheels is its esoteric manufacturing technology, identified as rotary forging. In rotary forging, the wheel is spun at high speed while the outer rim is forged beneath higher pressure. The method alters the alloy’s molecular structure to each improve its strength and substantially lower the wheel’s weight. Therefore, rotary forging produces a wheel that is simultaneously stronger and lighter than conventionally manufactured wheels. Auto enthusiasts know that reducing the “unsprung weight” of a vehicle—the tire and wheel—is crucial to both speed and handling functionality. “We’re pushing Corvette performance in the path ‘Vette owners demand with our light-alloy, precision manufacturing methods” commented Scheckter.

Whilst Corvette these days gives just 18-inch and 19-inch wheels, the Brickyard, like all Cray wheels for Corvette, is also obtainable in 20-inch diameter. Twenty-inch wheels need to be paired with ultra-low profile tires, which increase automobile efficiency in a number of dimensions. The Fitment Guide tab on the Cray homepage gives crucial information about which sizes are optimized for every single year and model Corvette. The guide also indicates that most Cray wheels for most model years are offered in a staggered fitment, meaning wider wheels available for the rear axle. A staggered fitment not only embellishes Corvette’s currently aggressive posture, but also improves grip under acceleration and although cornering.

Other Cray models contain the multi-piece Hawk, which functions ten “tuning fork” spokes, accessible in gloss black with a chrome stainless reduce lip, matte black, chrome and silver with a machined face and a chrome stainless lip the mesh-design and style Manta wheel, obtainable in gloss black with a mirror reduce lip, hyper silver with a mirror cut lip or in chrome and the five spoke Scorpion, also offered in those 3 finishes.

All Cray Corvette aftermarket wheels are made to accept the factory’s checkered flag center cap, use OE wheel lugs and help Corvette tire stress monitoring systems. Cray wheels are hub-centric, which guarantees that they fit precisely over the center flange so the wheel is concentric with the wheel bearings for a truer, greater balanced wheel/tire assembly and a smoother ride.

Beyond the Fitment Guide, the Cray website provides other helpful shopping tools. The Configurator tab, for instance, enables customers to invoke a three quarter view image of their year, model and paint color Corvette, then “try on” each and every of the different models and finishes of Cray Corvette Custom wheels to see specifically how each and every enhances their Corvette’s look. That expertise is buttressed by the Gallery tab, which accesses nearly a single hundred photographs uploaded by actual Corvette owners displaying off their new Cray Corvette rims. The Inventory tab enables users and dealers to access actual factory inventory of each and every Cray wheel. In-stock orders received by 4pm ET are shipped the very same day.
