    Bought warped wheel from VPA. Tried to contact them but no response. Any suggestions?

    Re: Bought warped wheel from VPA. Tried to contact them but no response. Any suggesti I just wanted to follow up and say that everything has been resolved to my complete satisfaction. Keith shipped me a brand new wheel and I sent back the old one. It was an oval! So weird. Now to just have...

    Re: Bought warped wheel from VPA. Tried to contact them but no response. Any suggesti I'm told Hyper Black is black with air brushed silver (or similar) over the top so that it has a bit of a 3D effect. The problem is it's nearly impossible to match if you get a chip or curb rash because it's a...

    Re: Bought warped wheel from VPA. Tried to contact them but no response. Any suggesti No sooner had I posted my previous post than my phone rang with Keith on the other end! My email had slipped through the cracks and we're all sorted out -- I'm happy now. Thanks again Keith! :)

    Re: Bought warped wheel from VPA. Tried to contact them but no response. Any suggesti I believe these were refurbished wheels (not new) that they had media blasted and then (poorly) painted Hyper Black. No tires or anything on it. It's an expensive metallic grey paint, as opposed to just a...

    Bought warped wheel from VPA. Tried to contact them but no response. Any suggestions?

    UPDATE: I've heard back -- see below. Easiest to just copy/paste the email I sent them 3 weeks ago: Keith did email back at that time (3 weeks ago) reminding me of the new leadership at VPA and asking me to be patient while he looked into it. Totally reasonable and so I gave him two weeks...

    '03 Vert with 850 Miles

    What a shame and a hilarious waste of money (buying it but not driving it).

    Buying new wheels, what to do about tire pressure sensors?

    Ah, thanks! I did some searching before making this thread but apparently not using the correct keywords. :)

    Buying new wheels, what to do about tire pressure sensors?

    I've bought a new set of wheels through VPoA and a set of pressure sensors to go with them without really thinking about it ("I need valve stems!"). Eventually I'm planning on getting a set of track tires for my current wheels and swapping out wheels when I take my car to the track. I realize...

    Runs Getting Planned????

    Yep, they go year round -- rain or shine. However during the winter it's a tiny turnout, mostly with daily drivers. Turnouts are starting to be pretty good now though, at least when the weather is nice (still small when it's raining). 50-100 cars I'd say. If you're gonna make a special trip...

    Runs Getting Planned????

    Most of us coordinate via Facebook. I think only me and Brant drop by here. You can follow it via e-mail without having to actually use Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/oregonviperclub/ But anyway, I haven't heard of any runs plans but that does interest me!

    Skip shift issue on 2009 and 2010 Viper possible solution!!

    Oh! I was under the impression it would throw error codes but I guess that's only the 2009 and 2010 models that do that? Off to buy one!

    Why Gen III and Gen IV when they are the same?

    A simple Google search would have answered your question: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRT_Viper#Fourth_generation.2C_Phase_II_ZB_.282008.E2.80.932010.29 Extra 0.1 liter, extra 90 HP, extra 35 ft-lb of torque, a better limited slip diff, some suspension changes to accommodate the lack of run...

    Anything I should know before powder coating my wheels?

    It did! Thanks! Yeah, I've heard about this too. I'll make sure to talk to them about it and what temperature they use. I do plan on doing track days in the car. Awesome! Exactly what I want! Is that gloss, flat, or matte?
