Steve you are one of the biggest innovators in the Viper world and I think I have a great idea for your next big production item and you'll sell hundreds of sets. Build the OEM long 5 spoke wheels in 19x10 & 20x13 sizes in chrome and silver finishes and offer a more aggressive offset front and rear like 15-18mm further out more like the 3 piece offsets. And I would hope for a target price around $1500-1800 for silver set and $2000-2400 for chrome set. Maybe we should start a poll and see if there would be enough interest. I know Id be in for a chrome set right now!!!! Can this be done Steve????

Wayne, are you a mind reader?

I have been in talks with the manufacturer of the Viper 6 spokes to utilize the same quality forgings but give me the ability to give them different cut paths, like the 5 spoke, like the 6 spoke and others, etc. We are still in the beginning stages but the manufacturer does lots of OEM wheels for all the major manufacturers.

Hey Wayne,

Timing is tough to predict, the manufacturer is a large one and turns like a cruise ship so to speak. Right now discussions are just about stock sizes to capitalize on existing forging tooling, and to try to keep quality at the highest level.

I hope it works out Steve...I for one have always loved the 5 spokes, and I really think they would take off much like the crap replica wheels available for the Vette's/Mustangs.

As long as the price point is such to not compete with higher end aftermarket wheels, I truly think they would be a hit...particularly with the Gen I and II guys!

Steve can do it, but it would be good to have more then one type of replica like the 5 spokes and 6 spokes

I would put a set of the 19/20 5 spokes on my GTS in a heart beat. That would be a nice clean look with out going to aftermarket.
I'm in for a set.

YAHOOOO thats what Im talking about!! I'll buy the first set. Remember to photoshop the more aggressive offsets like the 3 piece wheels have so the wheels will stick out even with the fenders. I think this is the most important feature of the 3 piece wheels. Looking forward to this Steve

What does a factory set of 5 spokes sell for? I'm guessing there will be some unloaded once this deal happens.

Right now a nice used set will go for $1700-$2000. But if these 5 spoke 19/20's come out it will probably hurt the 18/19 prices a little just because there will be so many 18/19 sets going on the market. Just my guess.
