I'm looking for a set of the new 5 spokes wheels, I don't know what there called. They are NOT the copperheads wheels, I want the ones w/o the lip. If anyone is selling any please let me know. I don't need tires.

FYI - the "Sidewinder" (Copperhead) 5 spokes are considerably lighter than ones you want - so if you track your car, you might want to reconsider.

You probably already know they were an option on the 06 and will be for the 08.

JonB @ PartsRack - probably the best price for a new set...

I have a 2008 Viper on order with the standard 5-spoke wheels. I plan to have these replaced at the delaership with the Sidewinder wheels but the car probably won't arrive until November which I am guessing is too long of a wait for you.

Does anyone know what the 5-spokes would cost if you ordered them from Chrysler/Dodge? Thanks.

Never heard of the Sidewinder wheels being an "option" on ANY car. They came with the coppperhead, and that was it. Only other way to get them was to order a set from mopar. I think you have your facts wrong. I bought an 06 and side winder wheels were not an option.

Oh and if you are talking about the non side winder 5 spokes, they WERE an option in 06, but are the STANDARD wheel for 08.

They are very pricey and most folks forget to get the center cap and the tire sensors. If you can find a nice set of used ones, that will save you some bucks, and likely when the 08s come out, there will be some wanting to sell theirs to get aftermarket rims. Patience may be your best virtue right now. Good luck.

Good point Bill.

MTGTS -- that reminds me, when the car arrives and I swap my 5-spokes with the sidewinders, I will be having my local dealer transfer the center caps and TPMS sensors from the 5-spokes to the sidewinders so I don't know if that impacts your decision.

I actually don't need sensors but I do need caps. I have a couple sets lined up and might even know later today. There are more sets available than I thought there would be which is making this much easier. Thanks everyone.
