OK guys, here's the car I ended up purchasing. Stickers will be removed. I won't actually see the car until mid December when I get it back Supercharged. In the meantime, I am preparing to get some things done to it. I have never been a fan of BBS wheels, although I like them on this car (it came with it.) However, I have included three wheels for you to choose from.

The first picture is the car with the BBS wheels

Second photo is the car with the new 19" Purners

Last photo is the car with some 19" HRE's on the front and 20" on the rear.

If you think a different kind of wheel would look better, let me know which one you have in mind. If you can photo shop it on, that would be great! :)

I love the BBS rims.

The Purners are gorgeous on THIS car... i don't like them for all.

I don't care much for the HRE's, but that is just me.

Thought about the Forgeline VR-1 19's?

The Purners.

I would say the HRE 545R's, I am partial to them after owning a set on my Z06, but then they look better on a factory car, not necessarily one with all the racing equipment on it...

I like the HRE's 19 and 20r and the purners.

I don't like the BBS because they look too 80'ish. They make the wheel look too small and don't really have that deep dish look. Just my 2 cents worth. The only BBS Wheels I like are the ones you find on the ACR stock and also the lemans race car which has the center lug on it.

I wish the wing were a little closer to the body, but it is what it is. Gonna talk to Steve at Autoform to see if that can be rectified or not.

As for this being my third Viper in a year, it is. Why do you ask, is something wrong?

Nope, nothing wrong, I want to be able get 3 Vipers in a year (or even just 1). :( :p It looks good though. I just dont care for the wing or stickers much. Any of those rims will look good, IMO. I thought you said that you didnt like GTS's at all?

You are right, I don't like GTS body styles. However, this one has a body kit which makes it look somewhat like a comp coupe, and those I REALLY like. The front fender/door curves look more like the SRT than they do the Gen II GTS (IMO.) I dunno what to say other than I saw this one and really liked the way it looked -- First GTS to do that for me.

Was thinking of adding a narrowing silver double stripe to the car(one of the black comp coupe owners here has this on their car) but my lady and closest friends say NOT to do it.

I'm hoping my Interior comes out looking like Adam's, as I think his came out very nice.

Manny, FYI, love the Purners.

Does that car have a cage, rollbar? or ?

Just thinking that may come in handy when you run the unlimited class at the Silver State in May. (nudge, poke, nudge) You are going right? :D

I like the Purners in Chad's pic, but I really like the HRE's.
:)
New wheels, no decal on the rear, and that car is PERFECT!
;)
Then drive it to Vegas so we can check it out!

I don't post a lot, but I felt I had to this time. I have BBS on my red/silver GTS. Before settling on them I did a lot of searching and almost bought a set of ACR's. In your case, and on that black GTS, I think BBS looks pretty good--my personal taste to be sure. However, I've got to admit that after seeing GCHDEALER's post, I'm wondering. Those Purners look fantasitc on that car (wow)! So, I don't think you could go wrong either way. Good luck.
