iForged Sprint wheels mounted

[apun]

Hi,

I finally got around to mounting the wheels and tires. I got the wheels from Vincent at iForged (http://forums.viperclub.org/new-pro...els-stock-ready-ship-fits-all-gen-vipers.html) and the wheels from Don at Tire Option.

iForged Sprint:
19x10 and 20x13 3 PC.
2" lip on front and 3" lip on back
Black with Polish Lip

Nitto Invo:
285/30-19 on front
345/25-20 on back

I did some weighing with my bathroom scale:

stock 18" wheel/tire front = 55 lb
stock 18" wheel/tire rear = 61 lb

19" iForged wheel/Nitto tire front = 60 lb
20" iForged wheel/Nitto tire rear = 70 lb

Looks like I gained about 5 lb per front wheel/tire and 9 lb per rear wheel/tire.

Since I had the wheels and tires shipped separately to me, I also weighed them individually:

19" iForged wheel = 28 lb
20" iForged wheel = 33 lb

Nitto 285/30-19 tire = 27 lb
Nitto 345/25-20 tire = 35 lb

Looks like 2-5 lb of air/weights per corner? Just an interesting observation...maybe my scale is not very consistent.

Sweet!

I'm thinking about doing this to my car.

Looks great!

Thanks for the pics, I wanted to see what my car would look like with SRT brakes and flat black wheels (mine are gloss black). I assume yours is a 99 also due to no fog light covers?

Hey Alex,

Great wheels and BRAKES I wonder who makes them
I'll post on my web site

That car is screaming "Wheel Gap".... Eibachs for under $300! Do a search you'll find the site. It's linked right here in the VCA somewhere. Lower it about 3/4"-1" that'll be perfect.

Rims look great

Thanks everyone for the comments...even though it was expensive for me (about $5K) total for wheels and tires, I'm happy with them. Forgot to mention, I can open the hood OK...rubs the front tires a little bit, but I'm still able to open the hood.

Looks great!

Yup, 99.

It does have Eibachs. When I went to install Dave's Big Brakes, I found out the black coil springs said Eibach on them. I wouldn't mind going lower, but then I would want on the fly adjustability to go down the road, jack it up to go up driveways, and slam it when parked...any bolt on suspension kits to do this?

Thanks,
Alex

Man those look awesome. I know the feeling of getting new wheels. They sure do change the look of the Viper dont they? Awesome, thanks for sharing the pics. I wish I would of weighed mine before I mounted them but oh well, too late now.

I think Underground Racing is working with Penske developing some coilovers that will adjust on the fly.

Looks awesome!

Hey Dave,

This is not a good idea for Vipers First you'd need fully adjustable coilovers(ACR,Motons,Penskes, KW etc) then you'd have to shorten your springs to allow for that hyd ram part, then you'd lose shock travel. Get the picture

This comes from 22 years of road racing & SCCA events
