***AH, okay, so can 99 R/T 10...lol!***

 

[99 R/T 10]

 

[viperdrummer]

99 RT--Thanks

 

[Malu59RT]

The wheels look good!

It's so sad that we have several people who have had their 5 spokes chromed, but ZERO photos of them installed on their cars

Viperdrummer, why do your barrels look unfinished compared to 29Outlaw's? His is not mirror-finished, but it looks considerably shinier than yours.

 

[99 R/T 10]

not a problem

Mine will be back on after I switch our brake pads and I will take pics . I chromed wheel , center cap and had SRT painted. I did not chrome barrels.

 

[Coloviper]

Why is no one going with high polished or chromed barrels?

BTW I really like those 6 spokes. Too bad they were not chromed!!

 

[29OUTLAW]

For me it was the extra $400 price tag and nothing else.

I thought the same thing before I even saw this post.

Outlaw what did your inner barrels look like before you sent them to calchrome.............
if they were a dull finish before maybe they goofed up and polished your inner barrels

The other Calchrome wheels don't have the polished barrell either, but they don't look the same as this wheel.

ViperDrummer,
Did you send them with the tires attached and have Calchrome dismount and remount?

thanks

Prior to doing anything, my barrels were dull grey. These pics are from Calchrome's website. Mine look like the "unpolished" picture but maybe a tad more shiny. They surely don't look like the "polished" picture

BARE CHROME UNPOLISHED

Yes I did . More expensive shipping but less hassle.

[wallbanger]

another calchrome delivery

 

[Sellshomesdrivesviper]

Nice job Wallbanger, I like the chrome wheels on the Challanger.

 

[viperdrummer]

Very nice, Wallbanger.

 

[Steve-Indy]

sorry if I missed it, but can some of you tell us about YOUR turn around time??
Thanks!!!

the challenger rims are an exchange so they ship in a day or two from cali .... shipping takes 2-5 days depending on location (they had in stock when i called).... then your just send you rims to them

I am about as far away from Calchrome as you can be in the lower 48 (Va to Cal). So, I had 10 days round trip ******* in UPS ground. With that the whole process was about 3 weeks or so and I had lettering and mounting/balencing done which takes a little more time.

They are responsive if you want to check on the progress along the way. I don't think they have wheel exchanges on Viper wheels- they didn't for mine.

 

[wallbanger]

the chroming process alone takes 10 business days.. so with shipping your looking at closer to 4 weeks in my humble experiences

as far as i know there is no exchange program for viper rims...

 

[Steve-Indy]

THANKS for the turn around times!!

 

[29OUTLAW]

Mounted on car.

Yep. Chrome all the way. I wish they came from the factory like that.

 

[DodgeViper01]

Yeah they really should have come from the factory Chromed. The peeling from the stock wheels got to be annoying. I also had mine chromed before I sold them. They looked GREAT chromed!

 

[FastZilla]

Man those look good! Were you givin them the "shaving" test - absolute mirrors

Oh that's a camera not a shaver
