Which wheels look better on a GEN 1 ?

[jdoc7]

Trying to decide if I should stay with the 17" OEM 3 spokes or change them for some 18" Kinesis K28's. What do you think?

 

[mad0953]

18's by far.

stock if thats the only other choice....
But thats just me.....

The 18"s look better IMO. But i'd take it a step further and get different wheels. I think the Gen III wheels look AWESOME on a Gen I car. I also LOVE the CCW 505 A's and thats what i will be putting on my Gen II!

hey jeff

nice ride...she does look sweet...but if it were me i would keep looking for different wheels...i personally have never been a big fan of any wheel that looks like a bbs (even on an acr) to 1980's for me...jmho

try picking up some newer gen wheels...they seem to be cheap right now!!

^^^ What he said.

I like the OEM.

 

[joe117]

I have the gen2 wheels on my 94.
I like them better than any aftermarket wheels.

I never liked the gen1 wheels. I believe the painted gen1 wheels were a cost cutting decision by Dodge.

 

[V10SpeedLuvr]

I like OEM personally

17'' or 18'' oem







2005 Silver SRT/10

Look like most either like the OEM's or some other aftermarket wheel. The only reason I was thinking the Kinesis is that I could probably pick them up for dirt cheap with tires. I think I'll stick with the OEM's......for now!

 

[syldogRT/10]

I have the OEM's on my 94 and I like them. Easy to clean too!

 

[Bill B]

Fordgeline WC3's

 

[PDCjonny]

Have the OEM wheels chromed...

 

[DEVILDOG]

Fordgeline WC3's

Looks good!

 

[Fast Freddy]

i have set of those forgeline WC3 wheels in 18" brand new in the box that have never been mounted goin on ebay next week for sale.

I find the 18" split rims look small up against 18" stock..

The new polished 18"/19" FE rims look GREAT!!!!!!!!!

Another vote for stock or like JUCD VPR said, Gen III wheels look best on Gen I Viper.

 

[Newport Viper]

The '96 wheels make it tough looking.

Pretend they are chrome.

Pretend they are chrome.

Agreed...I went with that on mine.

 

[turboICE]

I like the 18's

 

[SSSSE YA]

Have the OEM wheels chromed...

 

[jdoc7]

Have the OEM wheels chromed...

This was definitely another consideration. Does anyone know what it costs to do this and typically how long does the chrome last before it starts peeling?

 

[tim721]

i like this look best on the Gen 1

my old Gen 1 -

my father's Gen 1 -

 

[IEATVETS]

Another vote for 18" Forgeline WC3 wheels.

 

[Brian GTS]

IMO, stay with stock. The stock rims and sidepipes just make Gen I cars look astounding and like no other Viper on the streets.

GEN3!

 

[jdoc7]

Lookin' Good ViperJames! Those GenIII's really do look sweet! Maybe I'll put the GenIII's off my GenII on the GenI. Then I'll need wheels for the GenII again. How about the Kinesis on the GENII? They'll look similiar to the BBS LM's like in my avatar, so basically I'll be back to where I started?

 

[PatentLaw]

Normally a stock guy. Like the 18's better though.

Did you buy one? If you did you know the best looking wheels are the pizza dish wheels off of a 2000 Viper. You saw them on a good looking black Gen1. Remember?
