very stealth..i like it. totally different. my next purchase will be wheels with black center. prob 547R version with polished lip.

 

[SNKEBIT]

Stealth is good,,, especially in a viper!!!!
Reminds me of the old muscle-cars with the plain black rims!!!

 

[GTSTF]

very cool!

Mitch, very nice! Duane likes. Are they painted or powder coated?

I was going to do my HRE's with red centers and black lips. I pussed out and went with chrome

 

[dennis]

Hmmm... I liked it better the way it was in your avatar... Just my taste. Anyways, what about a polished/painted-silver lip on those wheels?

Honestly, I think it *****. Maybe they look better in person. And you cannot acheive stealth in a red Viper.

I'm with AviP. So many guys are painting the wheels. I was on my way out to Pocono last week and a Viper pulled onto the parkway in front of me. I took note of how great the wheels looked driving 70 MPH. When I got to the track, I found the guy. Those wheels were STOCK. They looked great. That squashed any thought of me changing my wheels. I think guys get itchy to just do anything to thier car and then they end up doing things that don't really look that great.

My own opinion.

Duane, they're painted. Did them at home in the shop.

DUH!!!!!

I like the chrome better MJ. The black would look great on the race track. Gotta see it in person.

If ever the painted wheels looked good, it's on this car. The black, with the black side pipe and the top, looks good.

What's the red I see in the wheel? Caliper? Also, the Center cap....good choice.

Andrew, I painted the inside of the wheels viper red!!!!!
I think the red and black goes well together.

Thanks for the compliments!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the red and black does go well. Wow, inside Viper Red? You must clean that car all day long.

No, I drive it. Don't stop long enough to look at it. LOL

I don't care for them. It makes them appear cheaper some how. But then I never cared for all black rims. Need some color on them some place. just my 2 cents

I had some chrome wheels on a black BMW M6 in which the chrome was flaking. I had them powder coated black and I had a 50-50 response. 50% liked them, 50% didn't. While with nice chrome, 100% liked them. I'll never do that again and just stay with chrome.

Should have bought a 13 inch wheel and then put a big tire on to take up the wheel space. Would have saved you money and looked the same pretty much. Black makes it look like it is all tire.

I have a set of 17 inch black powder coated rims for $600.00 if anyone is interested.
