i did follow him down the road a bit and the tire's looked huge on it, almost
like it was 4WD. however it did look mean. just curious to see what you all
think.

something doesnt look right with that wheel combo, i dont konw, maybe it just sticks out too much, just me

Way to big, especially on the rear.

Mahesh, how you been? Have not spoken to you in a while. You should come out sometimes. LOL! Come with us to the charity event this year in NH. It was amazing!!!!

Yeah the rear lip on that rim is disproportionate to the rest of the car. What are those like Giovanna's or GFG's or something?

The wheels are too big. Looking at that car, the first thing that comes to mind is an Escalade with spinners. Or a ****.

I like the size of the lip, but the wheels are ugly. They look 'ghetto'. What kind of wheels are those? I've never seen them before, especially not on any Viper.

the first thing i noticed on the car with the new wheel's, the rotor's look
tiny but i do own a srt now, maybe thats it. also by the way he does own a
escalade, hmmmm. next time i see the car i will take some pics from the rear
and suggest to him he might want to lower the car, i think it would help alot.

They do look to be a bit big but The car looks awesome, even after all this time I never get enough of seeing pics of vipers.

I like the deep dish rims out back but, then I used to own an Esclade with dubs. So my taste could be off.

What is it about these wheels that disqualifies them as HRE's ? Where's the difference ?

I like the look, I think what makes it look strange on a viper is that we typically see a lot more rubber in between the rim and the ground, yours give it the low profile tire look, I went with tath look on my benz and have barely an inch of side wall showing.

Do post the maker of the rims......a bit lower would set the profile right like AB said, and he should no since he is the king of low !!! :2tu:

Austin you say these are "NO HRE's" then what are they? I had 547r's for a year on my '97 GTS and these wheels sure look like what I had. I'd really like to know whose making such good knockoffs. Thanks.

The car looks good, but here are a few suggestions to make it look great! 1) Lower the car 2) get a lower profile tire in the rear(25 series), right now it looks like a 35 or a 40 series tire on the car. I would love to know what size wheels and tires are on the car. Do these two things and I think that the car will sit a lot better....Nice wheels!

The wheels are too big for my taste and the rears look abnormally wide - almost toyish. For a street car though I give it a 9.4 - good colour, very nice presence, agressive stance and you did pick a great local to shoot.
