These rims were new for 2009; they weigh about the same as the ACR/Sidewinder rims which is roughly an 8 lb per wheel saving over the old 2003-2006 10-spoke rims and the standard 5-spoke rim.
I would try Jon B at Parts Rack to see if he has any available.

I like them too.
Those are the new 6 spoke wheels. They are supposed to be lightweight, like the Sidewinders.
We saw them during VOI 10.
Call JonB, he'll be your best starting place.

They do look nice in person. If you like the overall appearance, check out the CCW SP600 wheel also. Similar spoke shape, but you get a nice lip too.

I do like those too. I will track those stock wheels down. I'll call the local dealership here. They should be able to lead me to them.

I have the 6 spokes on my 09. I like them but I have to say I like the 5 spokes on my 06 better.

I've been wanting to get a set of these for a couple of months. I don't think you can buy them yet. Mark at Woodhouse said they are very hard to get right now.

I like those a lot with the lip, they weigh 27.2 lbs for the 19x13". Everybody says the Sidewinders are lightweight, but how much do they weigh?

ACR/Sidewinder are 25 lbs for the rear 19 x 13 and 17.5 lbs for the front 18 x 10.

Are you sure about that?
I have heard the sidewinders are lighter than 25lbs and when I had one of them shipped to me I could swear that even in the box it weighted less than 25lbs, it was surprising to pick it up as it looked like it should have been heavier.

The 6 spokes are VERY rare and we have been waiting for 7 months for 2 replacements even with our connections! If you can find some blems out there they look great blacked out also and are light. Now that things are up and running again maybe they will be more readily available soon. They are MORE expensive than any of the other Dodge wheels also FWIW.

I have a set on my 2008 and weighed them before they were mounted with tires, TMPS sensors etc. I have seen other weight listings of 18 lb front and 25 lb rear but I believe my figures are pretty accurate.

and as mark has amply demonstrated they are by far the best stock rim for showing off your aftermarket rotors...chromed 6 spokes will be on my next viper

That is a great looking Viper but I think I am the only guy left on the planet who does not care for black wheels. Totally personal, and I am showing my age, but to me it is like showing up for a basketball game wearing black socks (I know some are doing that now)
AS mentioned I have 6 spokes but the best looking wheel I have had on my Vipers (and I have had almost all OE wheels) is the 5 spoke as chromed by CalChrome. I am thinking of doing it for the 6s, as they are getting milky looking as all polished wheels seem to.

I really want to like the new 6 spokes - but something about them screams vette to me. Mark's look good in black though. Still like the 5 spokes and LOVE them after treatment by Calchrome:

Very true that the 5 spokes are the best rim that has come on the Viper. They are just brutish enough and clean lined to be a "Viper worthy wheel". I like the light weight and open look of the 6 spoke though for racing. BTW as if you all didn't know Cal Chrome is really the only option if you want the BEST in chrome.

No doubt about it. They are a large, first class operation and did a great job on mine including the red lettering on the SRT.

This wheel (CCW SP600) is a favorite of mine also,but I checked their website,and unless I'm mistaken,they're not available in chrome.When money allows,I'll look for a used set and put the savings towards having them chromed.

I liked the look of the 5 spoke wheels too but they are very heavy wheels .... so I sold the set that came on my 06. Taking the 5 spokes and runflats off and replacing them with Sidewinders and PS2s from JonB saved almost 50lbs - all rotating mass!

Yeah but aren't the 5 spoke on other dodge models. Nothing worse than pulling up in your nasty Viper along side a charger with the same wheels. The 6-spoke are exclusive to the Viper.
