it might sound "ricey" lol but is there a viper with 21" rims? just want to see if it looks nice or
is there a viper with 21" rims?
Has anyone done a viper with a 6" lift yet? Need some rednecks to pool together for a Viper.
Not sure if it's 6" or not...looks a little bigger

You know what I haven't seen before, a viper with spinners.
Good.
But mark my words... when I get around to posting new pictures of some 21 equipped cars, many minds will be changed
I assure you a lot of minds won't get changed. The Viper is a sports car. Putting wheels like that on it make it a "Donk". Not the look 90% of this community likes.
OK, let's try it from a different angle . . . . define "sports car". It's tougher than you might think. You know why, because the term means different things to different people. Just like looking at a set of wheels do, 17" or 21".

This just looks SOOOOO horrible on a sports car:

This one looks good. The reason? Take a look at those brakes. That's a sports car.
Damn Chuck...I've never seen a single member get so f'king worked up over big brakes before...give it a rest
LOL to your analogy. Donk? yeah. Hardly. You are about a half a dozen or more sizes too small to be in that category.
aaaaaand what is stopping people from having a set of "show" wheels, and a set of "go" wheels?
Exactly. Nothing.
You cannot get a set of 17, 18, 19, or 20 to look like a set of 21's in a 375 rear. Nor can you do it with 22's. And yes, I feel that 22's are the breaking point, personally, due to the wheel well size, and the fact that you cant even get them nearly as wide as 21's. However, if you think that 20 is OK, but yet somehow a 21 [which is barely perceivable] is somehow a departure- regardless of the fact that it can be made 30-40mm wider [WHICH IS THE POINT FOR LOOKS!]... you may need to reevaluate your opinion.
I stand by that, and I stand by the fact that two cars I am working on now, from a LOOKS standpoint, will very likely make most people cram their foot in their mouth on this exact topic. I will say, that YES, it has to be done right, or it looks over the top.

Pretty funny. I stated 21's are too much wheel for this car. That upsets you and you try to justify it. Then you come back with 22's are too much.Let's see, difference between 20 (size I am comfortable with putting on my car) and 21 (size you are comfortable blinging your car with) and the result is 1 inch. But wait, 22 is too much right? It's barely a percieveable difference from a 21 to 22, would you say that is accurate? Those wheels are too big on the Ferrari. Not my taste. But it is Yellow!!!!
Last person who came out to post pictures so the anti bling monster wheel crowd would put theory foot in their mouth ended up having a crying fit on the alley and pulled his photos down. Post away.
Also the "Donk" category is not necessarily wheel sizes that are double that. 21's on a viper are so borderline to the catergory they might as well jack the suspension up and add the extra inch.
And there are 22's that are wide like normal viper wheels. I have seen a gen 1 with them.
Chuck will make comments on puny brakes at the same frequency as people do budget limited upgrades to their cars. Like spending every penny on wheels and having no pennies left for related performance upgrades.
I think those people should be reminded of this often and beat on at every opportunity. Thank you for your attention to this Chuck.
Maybe so...but with those Gen II brakes you guys have, I understand the concern. Dave, I think you'd agree the factory SRT brakes are plenty fine for the street...in fact, I think you may have upgraded to those "small" SRTs behind your 20s
The funny part is this type of thread has been rehashing itself about every other week. I must ask what the fascination in putting a wheel so large on a street/sports CAR. Wheels that large belong on trucks, not with rubber bands on them to force them on vehicles that were not designed for that size. And who are the first ones to complain that they bent a rim. For the sake of all of us, please, put the largest wheel on your car, please hit that pothole and please keep paying senseless repairs because obviously you can't buy taste.
Lol don't cry? Please help me understand the point of cramming the largest, heaviest piece of **** wheels on your sports car? I am dying to understand! I might cry in frustration from trying to realize the point behind this useless topic and how it keeps coming up. Can't blame this on the younger Viper owners because most of the folks asking these questions are much older. Even the thread owner understands there is a good chance this is "ricey". While your at it go all out for the looks and add air suspension, a set of spinners, and leopard print seats.
