Getting my wheels done in this finish...

[Blue Batmobile]

Always loved the Gunmetal look, especially on Blue. I'm getting my wheels powdercoated in that color . It'll tie in nicely with my tint, overlays, and the overall stealth look I'm going for. What do you think?

Not a big fan of the entire wheel being dark.
I like just the centers black, gray etc with a polished lip....ala iforged or HRE.

 

[zorroespanol]

I don't like it dude... looks like dirty wheels.

 

[gts_2001]

I agree with zorro!

Save money, Just don't clean the brake dust off of your wheels. It's "natural powdercoat"!

 

[Ken Lally]

I like it on lighter cars- thing is, you'll prob get bored with it and want to go back to polished... I considered doing this with the 10 spoke stockers on my silver car.

 

[Racer Robbie]

Gunmetal is way cool and really stands out on a black viper.

 

[Nader]

Not a fan. Would look better on a silver or white.

Ditto

Keep stock

Ditto... I like the gunmetal but would leave the lip polished for a bit more bling. (But then again, you are after the stealth look)

 

[PhoenixGTS]

With dark rims the car will look like an old retired accountant from New Jersey living in Florida and wearing black socks pulled up real high and dress shoes with his Bermuda shorts.

 

[MikeR]

Well thats exactly what Rousch did on there Viper. I think its good, different. It will give it a meaner look, a little more of a race look.

 

[Y2K5SRT]

If you don't like the results (and I am a little mixed on a blue car), then I will buy them off you. Already have a similar look from the factory and REALLY dig the five spokes...

Same here. Never been a fan of the dirty wheel look. Although on certain white ricers, jet black wheels sometimes look good.

 

[KenricGTS]

Stay stock much better

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

Keep stock

Ditto.

Are you sorry now you asked?

 

[Rizzo]

eI like the Before pic for sure.

 

[2002_Viper_GTS_ACR]

stick w/ stock.

Really like your Viper and the blue color-beautiful. I chose blue also and have not regreted it.

I believe I have to go with the majority on the rim color. However, as mentioned by viper joe, maybe the centers in gunmental with a polished lip would look good.

But sometines things look better in person- maybe this would be the case with entire rim in gun metal. I will say this--it would be different.

Tough decision, but then maybe not for you. I would hate for you to do this and then later reget it.

But I am also a believer in what rows your boat-do it. If your happy with it - that is all that matters.

 

[viper585]

Looks great!! Go for it.

 

[zen garage]

those wheels are worth a small fortune. why dont you sell them and get some wheels similar to what you had on your gts. those were badass!

 

[Hiss]

Good advice those wheels would bring some money. I would like to see a pic of the gts.

BTW-noticed- below your rear bumper the section is painted blue. My 2006 blue coupe is black in that area. Is this something the dealer painted before the sell.

Again-really like your viper. Like you-I am also going to have corsa track installed soon ,and I may also do the caps.

 

[DodgeViper01]

Wow. Lots of people are not for it. I will reserve judgement until it is done if you decide to go for it as lots of things always look better in person or after they are done.

 

[VIPER BAZ UK]

I like both.....
So buy another set of rims and have a set of each....

There thats me safe...

They would look good on my yellow RT/10 ..... MMMMMMmmmm Next mod for the stock viper

 

[Tommy K]

I think it has potential. Maybe black-chrome instead of just powdercoat. I saw a set of v-rod rims done and it looked awesome. Almost a gunmetal color, but with chrome shine. Very easy to clean too. PM me for the link to the company that did them if you're interested.

 

[SRTRICKY]

they look good not great...i'd stick with stock

 

[Daddy Long Stroke]

The only way I would do a "Gunmetal" color is if you sell the stock rims, and go with some iForged like you had before - with a polished lip. A polished lip is a must IMHO.

And if you going with some iForged, may as well do some 20/19's !

 

[Blue Batmobile]

lol, I'm actually surprised the masjority of you dont like it. Guess I'll have to sway your opinions once I get it done .

The GTS looks cool with the polished lip, but it's a black car.
