VCA Edition SRT Wheels?

[RavenFan_94]

I read a post a while back regarding powder coating (?) SRT wheels to get the VCA edition look?

Does anyone have any further info on where to get this done? Does it make more sense to try and buy different wheels outright?

 

[SylvanSRT]

find a local powder coater and have them done in a grey or graphite cole that is the only difference.

I seem to remember hearing Woodhouse does it but I'm not sure about it.

Actually, from what I have heard it takes a little more work than that. The wheels themselves are actually an anthracite chrome - very dark but very reflective. I am told that the wheels Woodhouse did for the SRT-10 Ram look awesome, but did not match the VCA SRT-10 because of the finish.

I do know that one guy had a factory defect on one of his VCA SRT wheels and DC is telling him it could be "months" before they can have a replacement built. Apparently they built EXACTLY fifty sets and not one single spare. Interesting!

We are going to be screwed if we curb a wheel or hit something. Can you even order the VCA wheels?

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

Keep in mind the wheels we did were on the truck, and the finish on the standard truck wheel and the SRT-10 wheel are substantially different. That alone makes a match darn near impossible. If you want something similar to the look , it can be done by a competent painter who has done some rims at his business.

Got it. Bill do you have pics of the truck rims?

I'd hate to risk my wheels to a non-Viper friendly paint shop.

I'm that guy Chris is referring to. I hope to get my replacement wheel this week (mostly due to rainy weather here in WA)
but I'm pleased with the response from the SRT folks!
