As much as I like the Sidewinders, they are a PITA to clean and well...they are OEM. I'm a fan of classic HRE designs, so here are some HRE 546Rs. I'm surprised at how well the 20" wheels fill the rear wheel well. I was looking forward to installing my lowering caps, but I don't think that would be such a good idea anymore.

Nice shoes! You're right about those sidewinders...they take forever to clean if you want to get into all the nooks. I would still be very curious to see how they would look with the caps...I think it would look awesome.

Looks good. Surprised they still make that style, it was discontinued years ago. Where are the center caps?

Thanks, everyone!

Yeah, I have new ones on the way from HRE.

Sweet! Very Sweet!
"If its too low then your too old" install those caps now =)
Coming from my last 2 Vipers, this car is 4-wheeling. Who am I kidding...I'll still install the caps, haha.

Looks great! What tire sizes are you running?
Michelin Pilot Super Sports 295/30/20 and 345/30/20

Looks good. Surprised they still make that style, it was discontinued years ago. Where are the center caps?
I bought them 2nd hand, but they are as new as new can be. Fresh powdercoat, new hardware, new tires, and new center caps are en route from HRE.

Really shows off the rotors well , which I think is a really good look!!!
Thanks! I didn't like hiding them, which was another motivating factor to purchase these wheels.

Looks great dude, will have to check it out in person, maybe I will have all 4 wheels installed by that time :)

Any Viper is one of the most beautiful cars on the planet. But man an orange TA just pops and just looks extra special. Love the wheels and I'm with KDR83. Paint those calipers orange.

Looks great! I always cringe when I see attention seeking people spending HRE money on ADV.1 wheels. Worst trend ever. HRE is where it's at for classy and timeless car shoes.

Are you getting the center caps painted? thats all thats missing from this setup! Although I do think getting HRE wheels in black dont do the wheels justice. Either way looks bad ass. Baller wheels!

Thanks again, everyone! I'm a wheel whore. So if anyone is interested in the HREs now or in the future, please let me know.

The calipers will be orange soon enough...just waiting on the humidity to drop here in Florida since I had issues painting my calipers on my last car in the middle of October last year.

Thanks! Have you gotten a quote for ADV.1s before? They cost more than HREs in most cases...amazing what good marketing does.

Congrats on the new ride Ryan! Looks sick with the HREs!
Thanks! Hopefully, I'll run into you again at an Orlando C&C soon. I'd like to make the drive out there this fall.

Do you want to part with the sidewinders?
Not at this time. I like keeping all the OEM pieces in case my car sells.

I ordered new center caps from HRE, which should be here next week. I had photoshopped a few different sets of wheels on my car in different finishes. With all the black accents on the car, I was afraid to go away from black. But I guess I'm also biased, as I've owned 9 sets of aftermarket wheels and 6 of them have been black.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, was there any rubbing on the fronts? Has anyone run that 295/30/20 in a gen 3-4?

Yes, they rubbed pretty bad at full lock.

^ When you had the TA with those wheels, did you also have the lowering caps? Looks like stock height.

Car with those wheels and tires looks great. Question though, are you having any issues with ESC or ABS? Those tires are quite a bit taller than stock. When running taller front tires my TA's ESC was freaking out.
