Changes in gravity travel at the speed of light. Gravity itself is a field contained within space-time. But this is just a subtle point. For example, as the visible horizon red shifts beyond the speed of light, the gravitational field expands along with it. Individual gravitons, however (although their existence is theoretical but no doubt real) do not.
