Razors to Sidewinders

[BigJag]

My 08 Aero Coupe came with Polished Razor wheels, okay but not my first choice. Been thinking about making a change for a few years and finally pulled the trigger. I bought a set of new Polished Sidewinders and sent them to California Chrome for a "Black Fusion" coat. They did an excellent job, reasonably priced, and had a quick turnaround. A pleasure to do business with. Its quite a change from polished to black, especially on a black car. Its going to take some getting used to but I think I like it. I know these are nothing new but humor me and let me know what you think.

Sooo much better! Good choice

 

[HPATTERN]

Looks like a different car. WOW!!

 

[fastandloud]

Night and day difference...excellent decision making the change!!!!!!!!!!!

I think they look absolutely horrid. What a terrible choice of wheel, and I can't believe you spent money to get that look.


PM me so I can send you an address to properly dispose of them. I'll even pay for your shipping out to me. They'll look great on my car!... err I mean in the trash

They look fantastic!

 

[FrgMstr]

Awesome choice! Got a set of Razors in storage as well. Meh.

That is about 100000000000 times better. Excellent change!

 

[Doug Supercharged Vipers]

Looks terrific! But then again, any wheel would look great on that car!

 

[blackandblue01]

Looks fabulous, love it. Now your gonna have to change the wheels on the sticker on your garage door.

Curious, what was the weight difference between the razors and the sidewinders you got? Also, how do the 6-spokes compare in weight to these two?

 

[CMilViper]

HUGE improvement! Looks great!

 

[M_viper]

I can't tell you the exact difference in pounds but the Sidewinders are definitely lighter than Razors. Shipping weight including boxes were 33 lbs. on rear and 24 on fronts. Estimate Razors to be somewhere between 5-10 lbs more per wheel. I don't know compared to 6 spokes but from what I understand they are probably about the same or similar to Sidewinders.

Tom, you know what I think, best change you could make for your car!!!

If you do a search, you can probably find that info. There is a thread.....

Waaay better!

 

[DaDood]

Agreed! Very nice upgrade.

Looks terrific! But then again, any wheel would look great on that car!

 

[PDCjonny]

Looks wayyyyy more aggressive and cool.
Nice job!

 

[V10SpeedLuvr]

GREAT upgrade! As said above, it looks like a totally different car!

 

[msp282]

holy ****.... looks 1000000% better....

 

[viperbilliam]

Looks good - a completely different look (more aggressive) but I liked the Razors better. Did you notice any difference in the handling?

 

[DanielR]

Massive improvement!

 

[Tail lights]

Now your car looks like a race car. I can't believe they put polished wheels on a viper. I think they were trying to appeal to the chevy crowd.

 

[Cobraken]

The Viper looks good no matter the shoes. I liked the Razors better.

 

[VIPER BAZ UK]

HUGE improvment.....

 

[highsierrahillbilly]

Big Jag,

Your Aero Cup looked stunning before, and with the ACR rims it looks even better! Good choice on your performance / visual upgrade.

 

[BlknBlu]

I am torn with this car. Adding the black sidewinders makes it look just like an ACR. I am not a big fan of the Razors but on your Aero car it really sets it apart and lets you know that it is not an ACR.

Both look good to me.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I like the new look, but it is such a big change that its going to take some getting used to.

 

[Viper X]

Good decision.

FYI, the five spokes are very heavy compared to the sidewinders.

 

[Chelseasnake]

i thought the 6 spokes are the same weight as the sidewinders
