I would bet the factory cost would be over $1200 each.

I'd be interested once I get my car, let me know...

Why order the track pack if you're just gonna sell the rims and possibly tires. It would probably be cheaper to just get the rotors in the aftermarket in the long run since you would be selling off 2/3 of the package anyway.

cause i have 2 sets of the sidewinders in my garage from other cars
The Stoptech rotors from Chrysler last time I checked were about $3200 separately give or take.

Gotcha. I think the Sidewinder II's are lighter then the GEN III/IV's. If it's looks I get what you're saying though.

SRT engineers have said that the offsets for Gen 4 wheels are different than Gen 5 wheels. Might want to check clearance before selling Gen 5 wheels.

i think i can go from a gen 4 wheel to a gen 5 car. but i might not be able to go from a gen 5 wheel to a gen 4 car.

I can't wait to get mine, and pull the wheels off to make some measurements 
I believe you are right Chelseasnake, the rear Gen 5 wheels will have a different offset due to the wider tire fitment. But, Gen 3-4 wheels will likely still fit on the Gen 5. The Track Pack Gen 5 wheels are supposed to be the lightest factory Viper wheels yet. They are rotary forged, just like the Sidewinders/ACR wheels.

That is correct, but only for the fronts. They will probably stick out about 3/4" further than the stock 2003-2010 wheels. The rears are the same as the Gen 3/4 wheels so no difference there. The fronts are 10.5 inches wide vs the 1999-2010 width of ten inches. This results in a 20mm outboard offset difference - roughly 3/4 of an inch.
Shouldn't stop several folks from trying, as they are truly gorgeous wheels.

Now, if I wanted just the rims only, don't care about the brakes or tires, should i want and order the rims after the car is out - or just order the track pack?
I'd imagine I can sell the rattlers and come out close to even for the sidewinders

The rotors are $2,800 of the total package cost of $3,500.

Damn. I'm absolutely in love with the Sidewinder II's and had been planning on trying to get a set to stick on my Gen 4 but I hadn't considered how they'd stick out past the wheel arch. Bah, well there goes that plan.

Nah, I much prefer the stock body style.

Guys run an 11" front wheel so a 10.5" won't be a problem

Really depends on the offset. The offset will determine if the wheel sticks out or sticks in.

They changed the offset to run a bigger tire up front and not rub on the inside at full lock. Not because of wider body work. I run a 12.5" rim up front.

Wheel offset determines how far off the hub the wheel protrudes. You can have the same width wheels that have different offsets. The result is that one wheel will stick out further than the other even if they are the same width. Offsets are designed so that the wheel does not protrude past the body work and so that the inside of the tire or wheel does not rub. The size of the wheel that you can fit on the car depends on the car's design and the offset. I did not imply that the offset was for wider body work or for a wider tire. However, the SRT engineer I spoke with told me the wheel would protrude on an Gen 3/4. Now maybe that would be ok for some folks. Only way to know is to try it.

We know for a fact that the outside offset is 20mm or 0.787 inches, so while the wheel width only increased a half inch up front (10 inches to 10.5), the wheel itself moved out another 0.28 inches. That said, with a 285/35-18 tire it appears the top tire edge will still be just inside the wheel arch. The other interesting thing with these wheels is that they appear to have a thicker pad - the part that mounts to the hub. We suspect that is where much of the offset is created. We will get a couple side-by-side shots with the Gen 2 & 3/4 wheel pads to compare. We never recommend modifying factory wheels for safety reasons, but can't help but wonder what it would look like if the pad was shaved down a little. Of course the rears are unchanged from the Gen 3/4 wheel, so no worries there.

Glad to hear you guys are looking into it and figuring out the logistics.
If they end up working well on a Gen 4, definitely count me in for a set!

Is the rim on the right hyper black or matte black?

it's Hyper black, but Gunmetal would have been a less confusing defenition
