Do owners like their 6 spoke rims?

[wallbanger]

i've not seen these in person...i know they weigh less.. Are owners of these rims or any other observers happy with these rims?... how do they compare to the 5 spokes?...

 

[01sapphirebob]

I like them. They look really look sharp in person.

 

[mjorgensen Woodhouse]

They are GREAT, easy to clean and look very good in black also! But I may be a little bias.

 

[BlknBlu]

I was not a fan of them either till I saw Marks powdercoated in black. They are extremely easy to clean and they show off the brakes too.

I just put a set on my GTS.
Yes they are very light and easy to clean.
So far I love the look with my SRT brakes.
Check it out.

 

[Lawrenzo]

I like 'em(even more so in black I think)

 

[ROCKET62]

Wallbanger, I'm still trying to get used to seeing your gorgeous Red Viper in the new SSG - which also looks amazing. The 6 spoke does look good in Black. Any thoughts on a CalChrome BLACK chrome as a compliment to your graphite stripes?

Can you guess my favorite wheel of all time?

 

[SilveRT8]

I just got a set of 6 spokes for my 08 and like them a lot.
I also weighed them complete with original PS2 tire, monitor and center cap vs my OEM 5 spokes :
5 Spokes Front 52.2 lbs / Rear 64 / Total 4 wheels 232.4 lbs
6 Spokes Front 47.8 lbs / Rear 59.8 / Total 4 wheels 215 lbs

Here are a few pics :

I have a set with Sport Cups for the track. The weight is similar to the "Copperheads". They are very lightweight.

 

[09 Venom]

Absolutely love them. Don't judge by pictures, you need to see them in person. Also they seem to be exclusive to the Viper. I have seen the 5 spoke (or similar) on other dodge vehicles.

 

[wallbanger]

Thanks for the feedback everyone and thanks for the kind words rocket62.... geez that black chrome is sooo tempting.....

Anyone have any black chrome rims they can give feedback on?

 

[VIPER R]

I wonder why they're selling on ebay for $1500 a set?

 

[mjorgensen Woodhouse]

Probably because someone took them out the backdoor of the supplier and is dumping them LOL.

 

[DMan]

I love mine, look good in pics & great in person.

 

[Chrissss]

Just can't decide about them. Lots of them available at a good price.

 

[viperdrummer]

I have them on my 09 and like them but still like the 5 spokes on my 06 better.

 

[bluesrt]

you cant go wrong on any color with black chrome= my opinion on electroplateing

 

[steve911]

I know where dozens of sets are located...... All new wrapped in plastic stacked on pallets. 6 spoke razors or the 10 spoke razors. It is a legit brick and mortar business in Madison Heights, MI. Myself and another Ill VCA member were in the ware house looking at them and hundreds of other Alloy wheels.

I bought a set while I was there for the Niagara trip. Had them sent home. were waiting for me when I got back.

P.S. Its a good thing my wife doesn't read the forums....

Does the polish on these seem to be better then on the 1old 10 spokes. Don't want to have to deal with having crappy looking polish again in a few years. Thinking about picking up a set of these or just black chromeing my originals.

 

[shooter_t1]

I like mine alot. I had always been partial to the OEM 5 spokes on my 06 till I got a good closeup look at the 6 spoke.

I also received a set from Detroit Wheel and Tire. Perfect set at a great price. I also was torn between the five and six spokes but after seeing how the six spokes compliment the brake calipers, I was sold. Not to change subjects but has anyone used flush mount valve stems? Pros vs. cons?

 

[10 BANGER]

I like them both but I think the 5 spoke goes better whith the car being they are wide. But to each his own.

I put mine on my car today. I love the shape and weight, but do not like the shiney finish on my silver car. I'm thinking a refinish is in my future.

I kind of agree with you and i really didn't like the 5 spoke in person. Think these just show too much. Think best route for me is to black chrome my 10 spokes

tia

5 spoke weights front 26.8 lbs
rear 33.5 lbs

6 spoke
18lbs front / 26lbs rea

this data is from vca members weighing their own rims

 

[ViperVeryOrange]

I really like the 5 factory spoke on my Orange Viper. I'm not sure I would like the 6 spoke as much...?

 

[6 speed]

I like the 6 spoke rims, but in a side by side comparison the 5 spoke rims looked better to me on my 08.

Crisp uncrowded lines, especially like the spear tip spoke ends. sort of adds a bit more 'bite'
