To the guys that have aftermarket wheels added...How much performance loss have you experienced. ive been told that a lot of acceleration and handling loss will occur.

Too many variables to have someone make that statement as a truism. Lighter weight wheels than stock, with same diameter width and tires, will result in better acceleration and handling.

If you choose to go to some really big diameter wheels, handling may degrade due to how a very low profile tire performs. If you change the diameter of the tire, you will change the effective drive ratio and change how the car accelerates in each gear. The tire diameter has nothing to do with the wheel diameter other than what tire sizes might be available to fit a larger than stock wheel.

So, the answer is, I have lost no performance with my aftermarket CCW C12 wheels.

I was looking at some HRE's but one of the members on here had such a good deal, I couldn't pass it up. And at the time it seemed like a lot of guys were going with the 6 spokes (they were really cheap & a good bit lighter) but I have always liked these 5 spokes & think they look good on pretty much any year Viper.

Springs and caps... Not gonna happen. Practicality and functionality win. Most I'll do is caps, if my driveway will tolerate it.

Why do your picture links always display a very small picture (only 160x120 pixels) I'm using mac book pro but it seems like it's always your pictures???

Because the world runs on windows :).

On a windows computer my photos are clickable to enlarge them. If I posted them full size they would be extremely large due to resolution.

Ok, I'm on windows desktop right now and same exact thing?? Is there a setting I can change??? but honestly I don't believe I have this problem with other peoples posts, LOL just yours.
BTW even though after 2 years I still haven't completely learned how to use the Mac I still gotta say hands down best computer I've EVER owned!!! I have not had 1 single issue with it/never had to call customer service for anything and it is SUPER DUPER fast and you might wanna get used to the Mac "WORLD" cause it's surely taken over in the next gen and it will be integrated in several new vehicles...:usa:

Yeah and Hondas can fly :)

They are extremely reliable computers, very well built but super expensive, limited upgrades (through mac themselves, limited 3rd party upgrades), don't network well with windows, don't run windows only programs that well.

KNG SNKE's photos display as clickable thumbnails that link to his Photobucket album. I'm on a Mac and it works fine.

He must have some setting off for some reason. If I post as normal images this thread would expand in a huge way.

By the way, Invos ordered for the 19/20.

to WDW MKR: Forget the centre caps, people don't need to look at the wheel centres to figure it's a viper.... paint the stubs black. And to see how GA3Rs would look on your's lowered, see my not long lost below:
