new 3 piece wheels

[Mr. Bill]

I bought some jewelry for my silver mamba and I cant wait to get them. I just ordered these the other day so the waiting has just begun.
I did a lot of shopping and looked at a lot of different styles but when I saw these, it was love at first sight! the biggest hurdle was the price! These will be the most expensive wheels I have ever bought by a large margin. I've always bought cast knock off wheels before but I knew that wasn't going to cut it for my Viper.

Mine will look pretty much like this picture.
I ordered 19's & 20's with a stepped lip, brushed alum. center and brushed alum. barrel.

what do you think?

Looks good! Can't wait to see them on your car.

[Space Truckin]

Merry Christmas! :-)

Wheels are awesome !! The only drawback will be finding tires for that set up. You only have one choice for the 20's really. Nittos.

You're never disappointed when you buy your own gifts.

yeah, I pretty much decided on the Nittos already but I thought Michelin offered some 20's?

yeah, and I bought myself some 3.55:1 gears too! Those go in Jan. 2

No michelin does not make the right size 20 inch tire for our vipers.

Good idea to change the gears but..since your going with 20s in the back i would go with 373s for gears. With the large diameter you wont notice much of a difference from stock. Just my opinion as ibtoo have a 19 20 set up with 355s and notice little to no difference from stock. I am actually thinking of swaping mine for 373s

Actually the overall diameter on the 20" Invo will be smaller than the stock tires.
345/25 Invo dia. 26.6"
345/30 stock 27.4"

This will effectively lower the gearing even more.

Michelin also has a 345/30/20. It's overall dia is 28.1"

Sweeeeeeeet!!!!!

Mr Bill, great minds think similarly ,I bought gen 4 5 spokes and going to do the gears before the spring.

This.

It is a popular misconception that going to a larger diameter wheel affects the gearing or vehicle systems. We normally set the outer diameter of the tires to similar sizes as stock tires, for every set we sell. The wheels go up in diameter, but the tire sidewall simply gets thinner. The vehicle doesn't know anything is different.

Good looking wheels, Bill. Looking at that forging they use, it would appear those are built by 360 Forged as one of their brand labels. There are only about 7 actual wheel manufacturers in the country, they build under several brand labels.

Thanks Tony, I didn't know there was only a hand full of actual wheel manufacturers.

[Mr. Bill]

Just a little update. Wheels are finished and should be shipping soon!

The difference in diameter between the 345/25/20 and the 345/30/19 is actually less. It is 26.8" vs. 27.1", respectively.

[Newport Viper]

hey the first pics are of a 5 lug wheel!

[Mr. Bill]

Honestly don't know, I'll weigh them when I get them.

I hope that's the case but I got my numbers straight from the manufacturers.

[slitherv10]

some new pics of the "wheels" :monkeyleft:

The first pic does not do the wheels justice. The last two,,,,the wheels look like pure sex. Am I getting this right?

[No hemi]

Loving them, i received your e mails thanks!!, i'll be calling them for sure, what did you use to lower your car?, mine is on lowering caps now, but i'm thinking of going w coil overs.

[VoodooRob]

Your wheel choice goes very good with the car

[Lexciting]

Looks great, how deep are those lips?

[Strasse_Robs]

Thank you!

The wheels are 19x10 front with a 2.5” lip and 20x13 rear with a 3.5” lip! :)

[pony23]

Car looks awesome with those. Wheels make the whole car. It definately stands out now.

[Mr. Bill]

Just now seeing this. I couldn't be happier with the wheels, I love the way they look and judging by the compliments I get........I'm not the only one.

BTW, Rob and Chris at Strasse Forged are great to work with also. They were always available to answer all my question and I still talk to them on occasion.

When the times comes I will do business with them again.
