Pics of 18\" Speedstars on my 99 RT

Thanks to JonB for sending these overnight and getting them here in time for the weekend.

The much anticipated speedstars. Finally on a viper.

Cast your vote! Love them or hate them?

NOTE: the centercaps were backordered, so those aren't on the car.

So what do y'al think???

PERFECT. I like it especially on a silver car.

but im biased towards silver.

Love 'em! Have you lowered your car yet, Joe??? Looks like you haven't, but it could just be the angles. Those look GREAT!

Re: Pics of 18

Haven't lowered the car yet. That is in the future. Got the Stoptech kit to install now too... so many viper things to do... so little time.

They remind me quite a bit of the VR-1's. But for 1/2 the price!

Thanks JonB!

Honestly, I dont care for them to much. They look a little rice. Thats just opinion though. No flame intended. To each their own. I'd lower it though.

Nice job, they match the car perfectly. Drop it a little & you're done.

I like the thin spoke look!

They look nice, but prefer the factory wheels myself.

Re: Pics of 18

What kind of rotors do you have on your car now? Rims look great and show off the rotors nicely Are the stoptechs going to replace what you have now?

Re: Pics of 18

the car looks even better lowered in that pic..

Re: Pics of 18

After looking at the pics, the car _definitely_ needs to be lowered. More $$, I guess. What will it take to lower it? New springs? perhaps I need to start a new thread...

The rotors on there right now are the EBC slotted and dimpled rotors. The Stoptechs are going on the front whenever I get around to it. might not be for a month, though.

For the record, my wife-to-be likes the stock rims better. I like these, though. I guess I'll just have to use the stockers for drag racing.

Austin - Thanks for the lowered pic. I like it a lot!

No problem! I do what I can to help out. To be quite honest, now that I look at the lowered version, those rims dont look to bad, especially since they are silver as well as the car.

Not sure....

Re: Pics of 18

Dont want to be rude, but the factory wheels look considerably better.

But then again who says my oppinion is whats important.

Re: Pics of 18

The silver wheels are fairly well matched on your silver car. They look like they could have been a factory wheel option.

You might consider the Northwind lowered coil caps which drop the car 5/8" but keep the stock springs. It's a good compromise between the stock Viper height, and the short EBC springs (and scraping on speed bumps and driveways all of the time). I think that JonB carrys them.

Re: Pics of 18

I guess that owning a Viper is never about popular opinion. Those wheels get major two thumbs up from me!!!

Don't make the wheels look heavy like the stock rims. Great job!

Joe,
Sent you a PM

 

[ViperJohn]

Re: Pics of 18

Look nice, but I prefer the factory wheels as well. Is that cross drilled and slotted discs is see?

 

[SapphireGTS]

Re: Pics of 18

lower it!!! The springs are 300 bucks and you can do it in your garage in 3 hours.

Those wheels look too cool on a silver car!

Very nice

Re: Pics of 18

The Speedstars look great. Plus, they're a lot lighter and a heck of a lot easier to keep clean, I bet. Nice upgrade!

 

[DChan415]

Re: Pics of 18

They even look way lighter than the stockers! Looks good!

 

[Joseph Dell]

Re: Pics of 18

I will hopefully get a chance to weigh them today vs. stock. I'll post info as soon as I know.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank YOU Joe! and the lowering kit is on the way.....

Re: Pics of 18

The silver cars and wheels really look great. It just looks like they always belonged together.

Re: Pics of 18

I ordered my rims from JonB yesterday . . . I should have them soon and I will post some pics to this thread as well.

Re: Pics of 18

best looking aftermarket wheel i've seen so far - especially on your car - good color match.
