Help me pick wheels for the Viper!

usually i keep it quiet until i make a move on something and have it already.
but this time, I cant decide on what I want.

The wheels i have picked are ADV.1 6Deep.
This will be a complete custom order with fatter spokes than normal. I have made up my mind on the design but cannot decide on the color scheme I want. I can always get it switched, but it will be a pain in the ass.


So this is what the chop looks like.


(Keep in mind, the spokes are going to be wider, like in the second picture, the first ones are normal 6Deeps)




Now help me decide on
  • Flat black face with gloss black lip (with or w/o stripes)
  • or Machined face with polished lip (with stripe)

First one.

If your getting white stripes those flat black wheels would look odd. Without stripes, I'd still go with the first one.

Arent these pretty heavy? Not sure i would want to spend that kind of money for them.

Why not forgeline or something, they recently came out with a concave line as well.

Oh white stripes then 1st choice.

2nd choice would look nice if you went with a matte black stripe.

I dont really care about the weight difference that much. not like im going to be racing this car.

but yeah, leaning towards machined/polish finish. and i can get the finish changed later on if i want to. just cant reverse the order

Machine face. Do it! I love the concave look and I'd have done it on my V but for its very high offset from those brakes.

Machined with white stripes would be my first choice.

I'd pick flat black w/o stripes as my second.

Machined faced. Might I suggest some Vossen CV3's, they'd look sick.

I really like the black "ACR" style center with black wheels (1StGenCL's pic not loading for me), it just looks mean on a Viper.



... and I think these wheels look good on a red viper.

I say machined face. I'm not a fan of flat black on wheels, as sporty as it looks, it also looks messy. I would do gloss black more than anything. But in this case, I think machined face is best.

First, appreciate the fact that you get to make this decision

Second, machine-face FTW. Black wheels can look good, especially on black, white, or sometimes silver cars, but may cheapen the look of your Viper. Plus, machined face is timeless where the style of black comes and goes...

Weird. I voted, but never replied. I think the black would look bad-ass on your car if you didn't have the white stripe. With the stripe, machined all the way...
