I think this wheel set up looks the best on that car.

17" SSRs painted black with red pin striping for my track wheels. I plan on getting SRT-10 6 spokes powdered black in the future.

What is required to have that much deep dish in the rear? What offset? Thanks!

Nothing is needed... but you can't put larger brakes on for the rear. That is Cammer281's car...

I have the same size lip on my I-forged as well. Sorry, don't know the offset...

Not sure with the Viper's but wheel companies like iForged offer a wider lip by using a convex spoke design. The standard lip is 4" I believe but with the Xtreme Lip series you can get another inch. If you need them to wrap around a BBK make sure you let them know before finalizing your order. I'm sure they can accommodate you. I had iForged Daytona's on my Z with a 4" lip out back when the norm (up until then) was 3" using the Xtreme Lip stuff.

The wheel offsets aren't different Jance, the centers are dished outwards and bend in on the outsides. That's where the outer lip width comes from.

Offset is the distance between the mounting surface and the edges of the wheel. Although my VR1s mount even with the outside of the Vipers body, the amount of polished rim surface you see isn't a lot. These wheels move the tire and rim outwards giving the car a wider track than stock. With less curving in and out the wheel is lighter while (hopefully also being stronger). Moving the tires to the outside edge of the car's body effectively makes the tire tracks 2" wider than stock.

And you can see on this ACR the stock wheels are inside the body by an inch. These are also lightweight compared to the stock Gen 2 "5 spoke".

Not wanting the big brakes then?

I do but I would rather have the rims. My car already has drilled and slotted rotors with powered coated calipers. I bought a set of 4 SRT-10 Calipers for another project but I haven't used them. I was thinking about using them on my car if it's not to much money to replace what I already have, I would just rather use that money towards my new wheels :)

Can anyone photoshop these with a dark color car like the sapphire? Or ge tthe sapphire and photoshop the wheels black? I was thinking of a satin black powdercoat on this or a gen 3 5 spoke.


I know some guys may not like these but I like them for my street wheel.
I had my Gen II wheels painted metallic black (gas cap too). I get a ton of comments on how good they look, and the difference in the appearance of the car. Total cost $600

360 Forged Split 7 with Nitto Invo on 09 Vert

Also posted pics on the tire and wheel thread. Andy Wheeler put the whole thing together to my door ready to mount and drive. Excellent customer service, awesome wheels, easy to maintain and look fabulous. Best mod I have done to the car.... Go with Wheeler if you want to work with somebody you can trust! I put 19's on front and 20's on rear, good fitment. Check out the custom center caps with Viper logo... only 360 will do that for you!
