I'm not totally sold on the H-spokes yet, but I think it's a big improvement over the old 18's. I'm planning on some springs and possibly some spacers (ugh) to flush them out with the body a bit more.

Tell me what you think!!

Hi welcome.... beautiful Viper, congrats!

 

[eucharistos]

hey ken

remember your looking thread

congrats on your new ride

Looks damn ****...I personally prefer the 18s over the H-spokes (I'm a minority) but some springs/caps are definitely in order. Drive the hell out of it!

 

[radta7]

Looks great! Congrats!!!

 

[BlknBlu]

The H spokes do not look as soft as the 18's. They look great on a Gen2 car.

Welcome

Welcome to the insanity. On the H spokes... Too angular on a car that otherwise is comprised entirely of curves. OK, but IMO do not match the car.

I would vote against the H-spokes myself but you do what looks nice to you. That's a beautiful color. Enjoy the ride.

The H spokes look great... I think if you lowered it 1-1.5 you would be completely sold on the look.....

 

[All Blue ACR]

Beautiful car, nice color!! No stripes!!!

On the wheels since you asked; Bigger looks better but in this case, I prefer the originals over the H's. Hey, we're getting real selective here; on that car, they both look great

Enjoy, welcome the the club

 

[kenmo]

Thanks for all the comments!

Yeah, as said I'm undecided on the wheels. I picked them up for a good price locally. Was nervous riding around on the old tires (originals), so I jumped on the deal.

We'll see what it looks like after it's lowered.

Dave....agreed, the car is pretty curvy for these wheels.

 

[All Blue ACR]

You're another Alberta Sapphire car? Wstrn Cda will soon have all the Sapphire cars I think. That must be about 6 and 1 in Sea-tac Wash.

Awesome Viper, congrats!

 

[Disturbed]

If you don't like the H spokes and want the SRT 5 spokes, let me know. I have a extra set that I am not using.

 

[plumcrazy]

As good looking as your car is, even that won't help those horrific looking wheels.

Welcome to the insanity. On the H spokes... Too angular on a car that otherwise is comprised entirely of curves. OK, but IMO do not match the car.

+1, those H-spokes belong on a Lambo or an XLR...

funny, i used to think that Anything would beat the ugly stock 5-spoke "truck/wagon" wheels...

Congrats on your Sapphire Viper. Beautiful Color. Enjoy her!

As good looking as your car is, even that won't help those horrific looking wheels.

+1 - those H-spokes are not good.

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

TNT cat back. Best ever made as was all of Roys stuff. Nice car but not sure about those wheels. Hope you kept the oem's.

 

[kenmo]

I'm in Spring, TX. Interesting how opinions differ on these wheels!!

 

[steve911]

I think the H's are a refreshing change on a gen 2. My vote is to keep 'em.
