New Rims and Tires for the ACR

[DreadLox]

Had a set of ADV1 rims made for the ACR. 19" fronts 20" rears.
I went with the ADV5TS rims and Toyo Proxy T1R's, I've seen nothing but good reviews on them unfortunalty they decided to "discontinue" them..... Go figure... Anyway here are some pictures, I won't be getting them on the Viper until Spring, ill have to post some pictures of how it looks when I get them on. I definitely want to give a big thanks to David @ Fabspeed Motorsport's with hooking me up with these. Apparently he said his shipping guy that has a Z06 stopped in his shop today and saw one of the rear tires and was jealous of how "big it" was lol ;)
Tire sizes are:
275/30R19 fronts
345/25R20 rears (don't know if 355's would fit)

After seeing the matte black rims I'm kinda wondering if I should gone that route instead of the gloss black. Regardless that's minor and can be changed.

Gloss Black RULES.

[DreadLox]

Gloss Black RULES.

Reasons why it's good to get feedback and opinions :)
I'm definitely keeping the gloss black for a while, if not for good.

[St.Char]

Love that beautiful shiny finish. Just had a set of CCW's 550's done in gloss black and love 'em. Just finished polishing and waxing mine and getting ready to apply a red pinstripe around the lip before installing them :dude3:

[DARKNHT]

Cool wheels!! The matte would be cool, but that is why it is YOUR CAR!

[Leslie]

Very nice!

[slysnake]

Gloss was the right way to go imo

[CHAP]

Gloss with an ACR. :dude3:

[DreadLox]

I ordered the rims and then noticed in the ADV1 gallery that RSI built a viper and used the same rims but in matte black. I'm excited to see how the gloss black looks. Here's the 2009 Viper RSI did, I'm sure many of you have already seen it.

Wheels look awesome! What is the weight of the setup?

Wheels look awesome! What is the weight of the setup?

I don't have the weight of the stock ACR rims and tires or the weight of the ADV1 rims and tires... yet.... I'm going to get the weight of the ADV1's tomorrow. So I'll definitely post that ASAP, the stock tire and rim weight is probably online somewhere but I won't be able to weigh those until spring when I get my car back and actually swap the rims

And another PA owner good stuff! Hope to meet you this year!

[Anonymous]

My vote ,gloss black,matte black looks like plasti dip.

[DreadLox]

I have the weight for the ADV1 rims with the Toyo Proxy T1R tires. Hopefully soon this weather will get better soon so that I can get these put on my car.
I don't have the weights for the stock rims and tires ,but these ones are;

Fronts- 56lbs
Rears- 71 lbs
Total- 254 lbs

So they aren't real light lol

[IndyRon]

ADV.1 are IMHO the most cutting edge wheels out there at the moment in terms of style and the ability to customize to your application. I can't speak to quality as I don't own a set (yet) but I'd imagine they are every bit as nice if not nicer than the other high end manufacturers, ie. HRE, Iforged, 360forged, etc. I hope to own a set some day on my ACR.

We sell all the brands you mentioned. ADV1 are certainly nice. Quality on each of them is similar, pricing varies a lot depending on brand label. These shown are some of the heaviest forged wheels, due to their deep concave profile (which requires thicker spokes, thicker bolted ring, to handle the loads). They also make some lighter series', which are more performance focused.

Tony,
Thanks for letting me know. I was on their website the other day and with some models they have no less than 6 versions in varying stages of weight reduction and street vs. strip flavors. I want these exact wheels in the link below. I'm not sure what the "CS" stands for as this wheel is different than all the other ADV5.0 pics in their gallery on all the other cars both in spoke design and profile. If you can figure out exactly what this one is and shoot me a price, that would be great. Maximum concave on rear and gloss black barrels, satin black centers, 19/20's. If you can get carbon wrapped centers and gloss black barrels, even better...though I think 360forged are the only ones doing that among those listed above.

[DreadLox]

Ok, getting the new rims on tomorrow! Finally it's that time of year again. Ill also be blacking out the tail lights and rear corner lights. Ill try and post pictures ASAP

[pony23]

I think the gloss goes better with your color combination. They will look killer on that car.

[Torquemonster06]

Awesome. Im looking forward to seeing the wheels also, Im very interested to see how your tail lights turn out. We just acquired an ACR ourselves and I was thinking about getting the tails done.

[Murpowa]

Looking forward to pictures DreadLox!

[98intrigue]

About damn time!

[Sybil TF]

I would love to have a set of these in chrome.

[DreadLox]

Yes this has taken forever lol. My wife and i are in the midst of buying land for a new house so I had my Viper in the local Quaker Steak & Lube for 4 months during winter, and I just got it back Saturday. Anyway, I just took some quick pix with my iPhone and slightly edited them.... My good camera decided to take a dump on me -.- . My buddy is going to get some more professional ones tomorrow tho. Also, hopefully I'll be getting the tails done tomorrow as well (probably after the pictures tho lol). I love the new look, and am definitely happy with my decision on these rims.

[Bmw2nv2000]

[Simms]

[gerch85]

Looks awesome!

[Helo Steve]

Holy hell that is hot... Nice job!

[IndyRon]

Hawt!

[Murpowa]

Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the floor

:dropdev:

[DreadLox]

Well I lied.... Wasn't able to get any pictures today the tint job on the tail lights took longer than expected. Rain tomorrow... Of course... So as soon as I get some pics Ill post them. I appreciate all the great comments. You all are family! Nothing better than to hear good words from FAM! ^_^

[GTSLou]

Looks awesome, nice job.
Really liking the concave look.
Wonder how much heavier these are compared to the sidewinders?

Wayne...I've been wondering what you have been up too man... Also...6Months wait, Fdat!

[Torquemonster06]

The wheels look great on there. So have you got any shots of the tails yet?

[DreadLox]

Lou

Not sure what the weight of the sidewinders is... But here is the weight of these adv1's (definitely heavier than the stock, one inch bigger all around tho as well)

Fronts- 56 lbs
Rears- 71 lbs
Total- 254 lbs

[DreadLox]

-.- no, things have been so busy lately. I wanted one of my buddies to get some professional shots but neither of them have been available yet. I will get some today. Here's a shot of the gas latch tho, I got it powder coated black.
Torquemonster06, I forgot you wanted to see those.. Ill take some pictures later today and put them up. They were a tad tedious to do, but they turned out great.

[No hemi]

Beautiful wheels, they compliment the car a lot, also liking the " murdered" srt jeep!!:-):-)

[Torquemonster06]

The gas cap looks awesome powder coated black. I also noticed your side marker light is done as well. It deff compliments that beautiful car.

[DreadLox]

These are quick shots from my iPhone that I took... Not the best at all lol, but it gives you an idea of what they look like. We didn't do the reverse lights, not sure if I'll do those in the future or not. Torquemonster06, yeah I love the black compared to the chrome. Tho the chrome didnt look bad, the car is green and black... So I wanted it all to match :)
I had like 10 minutes to take these pictures and the sun moved out, once my buddy and I get a free hour or two and he can get some professional shots of the rims and everything else I'll post those up

Good eye lol, and thanks :)
That thing keeps up with the Viper

[Torquemonster06]

Those tinted tails look great on there. They blend nicely with the black. Thanks, that's another mod for my list.

[98intrigue]

The things I would do for an SSG ACR! I like the look of the tinted reverse lights as well...and maybe a 3rd brake light logo if you prefer it?

^ Say what? Where did you find that? That's awesome looking

[Torquemonster06]

^^^^^^^What DreadLox said. That is a deff must on our car. :dude3::dude3:

^^^^^^^What DreadLox said. That is a deff must on our car. :dude3::dude3:
I sent a JPEG file to a friend who runs a well known graphics company in the Tampa area. He gave me the one pictured and an inverted one (see below) that I just ripped off since I didn't like it as much. Since it's just a sticker or vinyl...available colors are pretty much endless. The vinyl is actually neon green, not an exact SSG match....but it's very close as you can tell by comparing the vinyl with the OEM SSG Viper logo on the rear bumper!

[Torquemonster06]

Sounds like a money maker....

[Crotalidae]

Very nice!!!

[Ryanr206]

How do the toyos feel on the street? Im debating to buy 20s but worried about the toyos.

[DreadLox]

I love them, haven't tried them in rain yet tho. But they are great so far! If you can find them (since they've been discontinued) you can get a sick deal. I got mine from Tirecrawler.com (they're in California). All four were like $920 which is a STEAL. I'd say go for it :)

[DreadLox]

And.... Was going to post some pictures and photobucket decided to go into site maintenance mode all of a sudden soooo I'll get those pics up later today.

Some good pics. Like what you have done

[PittsburghRT]

Beautiful ACR!

[Murpowa]

Oh lawd! How did I miss this thread?

Beautiful Dreadlox

[Grimlock]

That looks fantastic.

How'd you tint the amber corners?

[DreadLox]

That looks fantastic.

How'd you tint the amber corners?

^a buddy of mine who's been doing tint for over 20 years did it for me. If you'd like I can ask him what he uses... I'm not entirely sure the brand or type of tint, but it's a film and was put on while it was on the car with a heat gun, some water, and patience lol... Patience was more so for the tail lights. But We used the same film on the headlights in the outer corner. Covers up the amber color. But if you want I'll text him tomorrow and find out what he uses.
Thanks btw, I love it and wanted it to be unique, so now I know if I see an SSG ACR in a picture or on Instagram I can definitely tell if it's mine or not lol. Thanks as well Murpowa happy hunting on the search for an ACR!!! If you have a price range, color combo and year you are looking for I'll happily help look!

[eric@thompsonracing.us]

Car looks great! Pic looks like it was taken at the Cool Cars for Cats & Canines show!
