Wheel Help!?

I just bought a 95 Viper and I'm looking to get some new wheels for it. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be looking for? What sizes, finish and cost. Also does anyone know the offset? Thanks for your help

I'm going to go with HRE 545R in polished with clear 19x10 and 20x13...if your going to spend all that $$ might as well do it right with some nice big rims to give it that aggressive look.

Re: Wheel Help!?

Depends on your plans for the car. Will it stay stock? Or will you add blower or turbos? Stock, go with what you want. Modified, go with what will provide the best tire selection. Bigger looks good, but suffers when it comes to straight line performance.

Everyone seems to want bigger, bigger, bigger...but, sticky tire selection is poor on anything larger than an 18" size. I can spin the tires (345/19 Pilot Sports and 19X13 rears) at 80 mph on my Z. Fun at first, but gets old after awhile. When I replace the rims and tires on both cars, it will be 18's for sure. May not be the best looking, but....Just need to find a set that I like for the GTS and a set that I like better than the CCWs 505a s for the Z.
