I am leaning towards going with this wheel design for our first custom wheel for the Viper. We will most likely do some sort of a 6-spoke design for our next wheel.

The wheel above will save nearly 20 lbs. in unsprung weight compared to a set of stock Viper wheels. The will be available in silver, full polish or full chrome.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

Looks like the HRE 540r http://www.hrewheels.com/Wheels/ which isnt a bad thing however, and why arent you doing 20 inch wheels?

 

[Anthony - 98 GTS]

I like that one better. :nod:

 

[BigCarrot]

Better.

 

[Matt]

Have to agree with the others. Big improvement over the previous version. What's the price point you're shooting for on these?

I just passed a Caddy on 24" Gold Spoke Wheels with Knock-Offs...I'd go for that look, John.

MUCH better, but offer a satin finish with a HIGHLY polished lip.

What price range are we talking here?

 

[AUSTIN]

Looks better then the last one, not so "ricey", but it looks more like the Forgeline VR1's.

 

[FUSCUCLA1]

VRI has less spokes and the spokes split closer to the center. I love this wheel, a 6 spoke version would look more like a VR1. Nothing wrong with that. :nod:

 

[sbkim]

Will it have a decent size lip for the rear? I was hoping may be 1.5" F and 3" R

 

[John Hennessey]

The list price will be around $4,000. We will offer a special Viper Alley group buy price of $3,500 for a complete set of 19's. Thanks for the questions and comments.

Nice wheel. Would look good with the center painted to match car.

Not sure about chrome, it will round out some of the edges of the wheel, making it look bland.

 

[mxblue23]

I like them, those would look pretty darn fancy on my truck too.

 

[Alternative]

A lot better than the other one... More spokes than the VR1, less spokes than BBS/ACR wheels. I assume this is going to be forged.

 

[John Hennessey]

ViperJohn - we plan to offer the production cap in silver with your choice of the Hennessey or Viper (Fangs) logo.

Alternative - yes the BBS is a 10-spoke, the VR1 is a 6-spoke and our proposed design is an 8-spoke. Yes, our wheel is forged.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Wheels look great, John!

I like this one. Too bad I already bought HRE....
