Hey Guys, needed some suggestions here. Got $3000 to spend on aftermarket wheels. Any suggestions on what wheels to buy? I have an 06 Viper lowered with eibach and caps. Need to change my 5 spoke powdered coated satin black/red striping stockers for an aftermarket one. Also, should I spend it on suspension like the KWs for better ride/handling?. Too bouncy with these eibach/caps. Thanks in advance. Here's my Viper:

The only wheels you will find around that will be used and that will limit you. From what I have found anyways. Need to be closer to $5K+ then factor in tires if you are going to go up in size (why wouldn't you).

What splitter is on the front there? I like that!

I can't remember exactly which thread it's in, but there are some new ones out there for under $2k that look pretty damn good. If I hadn't already dedicated my old stockers to track wheels, I would have snagged the new offerings. Just do a search.
Honestly, I think what you have on there looks good and my personal opinion would be to look for a used set of Motons.

Where in the heck can you get stock rims for 1500, I've been looking to swap out my gts rims for some 03 10 spoke or like those 06 rims. If you know of any let me know.

Jeebs, I may have some H-spokes if that tickles your fancy?

-Tim
Not a real big fan of the H-spoke on my gts. But there are not a bad lookin rim.
Thanks though. And you do live close. That would have been alright.

Best bang for the buck would be the ACR wheels. They look better than just about any aftermarket wheel out there.

That's what I was thinking. My 02 gts is an ACR but the previous owner sold the rims and put on stock gts rims. I have no idea what he was thinking. I would
love to get the stock look back for my ACR and I love the wheels. And them in chrome just look sick.
That sites prices on the 06 wheels don't look to bad. I wonder how legit they are???
Anyone order from them before?

Finish Line Wheels offers a 30 DAY RETURN POLICY for wheels which have not been used. If wheels have had tires mounted on them, they have been used, and cannot be returned as part of this policy. If wheels have been on a Tire Machine (Mounter or Balancer), they cannot be returned as part of this policy. If you have not used the product, you would contact a representative from Finish Line Wheels to receive a Return Material Authorization Number (RMA#). Wheels are to be shipped freight prepaid. Returned wheels are inspected for use and damage. If Finish Line Wheels determines the product has been used, or the product is damaged, the product cannot be returned as part of this policy. Non-chrome wheels returned will be subject to a 15% restocking fee. Chrome wheel returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee.

Thanks for the heads up. Seems like most people think they sound shaddy. I'll have to wait and see. Cars off the road till spring anyways. Lots of time to look and find a good deal.

Not sure I would 100% trust that website with pictures like this:

Sorry but no way in hell those are oem wheels! You can't buy a used set of oem side winder and Hspokes for what they are asking new! I smell Chinese knock offs!

So if you like the factory six spokes (and most seem to), you can pick up a brand new set in the box for under $3K delivered:

https://www.viperpartsofamerica.com/index.php/products/dodge-viper-new-oem-six-spoke-wheel-set

Those are OEM factory wheels and not knock-offs, direct from Mopar. For the gentleman looking for 10-spokes for his Gen 1, we have a refinished set in stock too:

https://www.viperpartsofamerica.com...-spoke-wheel-set-wph-tw85xzaaa-tw89xzaaa-1604

Of course you will want to join the VCA and knock another $300 - $400 off... :D
