Ahh those don't look good, I doubt they will look good on my white viper either. You should have went hyper gunmetal or black.

It's different and i don't think it looks bad at all,but i like the stockers myself. Honestly i see a lot of Vipers with so many that look really bad to me but apparently great to other's on here. A matter of personal taste i guess. Good looking car!

I think it looks ugly but as long as you like the looks, that is all that matters.
What made you decide to put white wheels on a steel grey car?

Can't wait to see it with white stripes...................................!?

Hyatt,

Graphine GTS's are smokin hot cars, (My 2nd favorite color viper-to mine:D) I think the white (even with a white stripe) does not do your car justice. Maybe black with black stripe??

I dont know, I'm no expert. Either way as long as you enjoy it, thats all that matters:drive:

Yeah, that is the most hideous rim I have ever seen...I don't care what viper they are on. You seriously powder coated a freaking set of 10 spokes? I think I would rather have the Asanti's that were on that red SRT LOL. Please change the rims and don't put white stripes on that Viper and ruin it.

EDIT: Just noticed there is a fat white stripe on the car. Way to go by ruining a perfectly good Viper.

You should do what's right for you. It's your car, you own it, so build it till it matches what you have in your mind. To be fair, you did come here asking for opinions so you'll have to take some crap, but if it's what you like then go for it. You should post a 3/4 front view so we can get a feel for the stripe/wheel combo. I doubt that'll make anyone love the car, but it will be interesting.

Are you serious?!?

That's a brake dust nightmare.

:usa:

Not only will the white show the dust bigtime, but if you're really heating up the brakes won't the burning metal particles give the white a brownish tint after a while? :dunno:

Whatever you like is all that matters, but if you posted a thread you must obviously want other people's input.

With that said, I would honestly do a polished or chrome finish for your wheels. IMHO white wheels only look good on a solid white car, but even still I don't think I'd do that.

hyatt (life :2tu:) do you have a big single stripe going down the center of that gts? As far as the wheels go your most cost effective option is to get those wheels powdercoated hyper gunmetal or black. If you have some money to throw away than avoid stock viper wheels...

Seems like the general consensus here is it just doesn't work on that color car. You can save it though, take the wheels off and have them stripped and chromed or polished with a clear coat and get some centercaps from Jon B. Dual stripes with a lighter or darker gray/silver, should be an easy fix.
