I have been searching some tire and wheel places, but no one seems to list hardly anything for wheels for a 2002 GTS. I really want to upgrade my stock 02 wheels, I wish I could say money was no object, but it is, mainly because I am just to cheap to shell out 3K for a set of custom wheels.

Any Ideas of where to shop for wheels?:drive: What price should I pay?

Wow. Open book. How about some help here. What are you looking for?

There are lots of vendors. I bought my wheels from Viper Specialty here at this forum. But maybe they do not have what you are looking for.

So what are you looking for?

Those are nice... I really don't know exactly what I want, I haven't really found a website where I could browse through wheels and select something.

If you got a 69 Chevy, you can look at wheels all day.:rolleyes:

Call Dan there. He is linked with every one. Hard to reflect that at his web site.

He took care of this for me...

You know Dave6666, guess I am just dumb.....I have searched their website also, if you go to the cars section they don't even list a Viper, if you go to the Wheels and pick out something you like and click pricing and information, it takes you to a dealer page, none of which are in the U.S..

Think I am going to browse through the classifieds and also call the guys y'all suggested. I like the wheel combo you got, and think I read a "how much beer will it take" thread about installing them. We are both in Texas though... don't want to be a copycat.

The thing with most aftermarket Viper wheels is that they are all custom made to the application. You can get an idea of what the wheels look like in pictures but most websites don't allow you to "see" them on the actual vehicle. There are far fewer Vipers on the roads than Camaros, Mustangs, Chargers, etc. Rims for a Mustang are a dime a dozen. A "cheap" set of Viper wheels will run you $2000. :omg: That is of course if you can find them... ;)

Best place to look is the Classifieds here on the site. You should also check out the Galleries and see what other people have on their cars. Click on the link below for some good ideas as well.

If you are looking for wheels off a newer vehicle, call Mark at Woodhouse or Jon B at Parts Rack. They usually have new and/or used take-offs they can sell.

In my opinion, the BBS rims off the Gen II ACR's are some of the best looking wheels you can buy. They aren't cheap but they look soooo awesome!!! (especially in chrome). Anyone have a set they don't want?

Someone shag that wheel thread link eh...?
