as you can see in addition to lowering my viper, etc. i have dave cawthornes (aka racecars) BIG brake kit. i had the SRT-10 calipers in the front powder coated black to match the old stock front gen 2 calipers which i moved to the rear. i am runnin stock rotors front and rear and have steel braided brake lines like the comp coupe has. i run the new ebc yellow track compound pads in the front and the old ebc red street/track pads in the rear. also you can see that i am runnin daves E-brake in the rear which is way trick.

as far as my wheels are concerned i bought those used from a VCA member who owns a SRT-10. thus the reason my VR-1 wheel logos have the gen 3 style viper logo on them. i think the new viper logo looks cool especially on a gen 2 viper that has gen 3 brakes. anyway, you can see BIGGER versions of these pix with much better detail by clicking on the links i have provided here

Looks great ! Did you change wheels just for a change in look, or was there another reason, such as significant weight reduction? I wouldn't want to change from my BBS wheels, but those would be a great choice for replacing the standard Gen II wheels, IMHO.

AZTVR - i still use my stock BBS-ACR wheels on the street. i needed an extra set of wheels for the track. so i picked the forgeline VR-1 wheels because they are the lightest aftermarket wheel and they come in a size that is good for road racing. the fronts are 18X11's and the rears are 18X13's. the offset of these wheels provides for a wider wheelbase. these wheels are just slightly heavier than the stock BBS-ACR wheels but the wider width in the front makes it worth it because as you can see you can run a 315 mm wide tire up front which provides for a quicker turn in and helps to to take some of the push out of the car. i will be racin at the bonneville 100 (www.openroadracing.com) next month in nevada and so these stock michellin pilot sport tires that i currently have on them are less than 4 years old which passes tech so i am gonna run them. when i start road racing at short tracks this winter like phoenix international raceway & firebird raceway i will be shoeing these wheels with some hoosier slicks. :2tu:
