Anyone have a set of mint 5 spoke Gen 3 wheels for sale? I have the standard 10 spoke and I am adding the 2008 hood. From the exterior of the car, the wheels still place my car at pre-08.

please let me know............Thanks!

Sometimes you get lucky and something will show up on Ebay.

I wanted a set of BBS two piece Jaguar "Milan" wheels for my Jag XJR when I owned it.

These wheels are close to $6000 if you get them from the dealer.

I scored a set on the bay for $800. They were brand new takeoffs.

It's a simple matter of supply and demand.

There are what, a gajillion Vettes on the road. And how many other vehicles share their bolt pattern.

Vipers are 25,000 vehicles, TOTAL, and with that 6 bolt wheel pattern, well how many other cars use that?

There's your answer on why wheels cost so much.

See my post above regarding Jaguar wheels. Same difference.

Exclusivity has its price.

A Viper is exotic to me, fits the lable anyway u look at it. i've heard of japanesse wheels costing 4400 dollars easy and there nowhere near as wide as 13in.

Well there you go.If you have this car then you better not worry about what your going to spend.you should be just rich enough to just pay.whatever the amount.If we wanted something affordable we should have got something else just not as rare as the viper.Now you tell me!:lmao:
