Viper wheels

[VicTxV10]

Does Dodge actually make the aluminum wheels for Vipers or are they contracted out by a wheel manufacturer? I really like the new 6-spoke wheels but there are not very many of them out there since they just came out for 09. Getting a set of these will pretty hard to do. If Viper does go away and if the wheels are made by another manufacture, will they be able to still produce these and sell or is it trade marked design and cease production.

If anyone has a set on there 09 they are thinking about getting rid of let me know.

I thought all that most major US car manufacturers did was assemble components made by others?

Any idea who makes the wheels?

Probably the same people that make the Sidewinder wheels. Jon B. may know the company name, I think he buys these straight from the source?

Yes, unfortunately Taiwan is stamped on the barrels of my 6-spokes.

I've been told the new ACR wheels are made in the US though.
