Default Some pics of my Dodge Viper with new wheels

Last Saturday I went to Cars and Coffee and also picked up a set of HRE wheels to replace the CCWs. A couple pics of my car were taken at Cars and Coffee and after I swapped wheels I met up with my friend and he snapped pics of my car with the new wheels.

Pics with the old CCWs (for sale) at Cars and Coffee:





New HRE wheels on:

Very nice, but you won't have many fans of anything viper on this site, even if you own 100 vetts hahahahahha , hence over 100 views a few people that state the obvious , which is badazzz

Looks great.

Gotta love Vipers in silver with dark wheels. , I just picked up a 2009 Viper VOI 6 weeks ago and 1000 miles later I really LOVE it!

The new 2013 Viper really took a lot of its look from your generation GTS Coupe.

I think the GTS would look bad *** without any wheels but, your new rims look great on the car. The darker gray center really compliments the silver exterior.

I seen a 2013 GTS Coupe at the dealership a couple weeks ago when I was getting my 2013 SRT8 JGC's oil changed. What a work of art!

it's too be expected, you get the same response about Vettes at the Morgue or the Alley.

Actually quite a few people at the Alley really like the C7, the GT-500, and any car that is fast, the Morgue.... I would have to agree with you on, especially if you aren't a paying member, lots of pompous people over there.

thanks for the compliments, I was hesitant on buying the HREs but as soon as I put them on, that quickly went away

I'm thinking about moving to a GTS or am 06 from a C5. How do you like it ? I've heard the horror stories that they are death traps when it comes to handing ,uncomfortably hot and impossible if you are over 6 ft tall. Mainly BS ?

Just stories made up by people in this forum who have never even sat in a viper.
First off the handle better, have much better seats than the vette, as far as being hot, the gen 2's can get hot, but the air in my car is ice cold, remove the cats, which cause most of the cabin heat(they are huge) and the heat is gone.

If you want a viper get one you will wish you did it a long time ago(I did)
If you are into modding buy a 97-99, buy a tuner kit Paxton or if you want to spend a little more money , go twin turbo, Paxton with a fuel system or a complete turbo system from rsi, and go smoke a majority of the cars on the street, without opening the motor as they are all forged steel.
