New wheels arrived. They came out pretty sweet!

[triblk6spd]

Soooo I ordered these a couple weeks ago hoping I'd be up and running for TX2K15. Well as promised...Strasse Forged got my new wheel and tire set up here in time but if you are following my other thread my car isn't ready. I'm STILL chasing down a vibration . :( Anyway the new wheels look great...the color was scaring me at first as I had no idea how they would actually look since I was only able to look at color swatches via cell phone pics. Speaking of cell phone pics...sorry about these...it's was raining all day yesterday...I only had time to bolt these on and take some quick pics. I also have the Tomball lowering caps on and I'm sure the car will settle down a bit after I make my maiden voyage.
The specifics:
Strasse Forged SM6R
20" X 10.5" and 20" X 13"
Toyo Proxes TT1R 345 and 285
Overall the quality is REALLY good. My last 10 sets if wheels agave all been ADV1 and HRE. It was a stretch to make the jump to another manufacturer but I'm glad I did.
Thanks to Boost Logic and Strasse Forged.

[MalingatorGTS]

I like it! I'm a sucker for gold/bronze wheels! Is different and I appreciate that as well!

[IndyRon]

Love the design...

[BlknBlu]

that is a great looking rim, would look good in any color.

Bruce

[slovenom]

I loveeeeeeeeeeeee the way it looks man...... I keep thinking after getting my gen2, the car completes me so well that I'm not sure what's next !!!!
I know what's next a black gen 5 like yours will work lol

[JonSav]

Goes well with black.. I'd also have a hard time going with anyone else than HRE or ADV.1

[Junkie]

Awesome

[Murpowa]

Great looking wheel

[Carbon GTS]

Gorgeous! Best rim and color combo I have seen yet.

[1Koolasp 16ACR]

Nice Wheels !!!! It Sure Does POP Against The Black Car !!!!

[swexlin]

What is the weight compared to the stock wheels?I know the Sidewinders (did you have them?) are pretty light. I like the design, but.....personally the gold isn't doing it for me. Would like to see them in black or chrome. Let us know how they are once they get settled in.

Hope you get the issue with your car straightened out soon - what a nightmare.

[Rapidrezults]

Gold is back! Looks sweet..

[Mazak]

Very unique. I was liking their carbon fiber series wheels.

[Coloviper]

Looks great. Like the gold color and the design. Cudos for bucking the black rim thing. Will through a huge party when this black rim BS is over. Black rims on a black car only and that is barely acceptable. Some small good pin stripes around your GTS stripes would look hot.

[Vipes]

I think only a black car could pull these off. Looks good!

[1evilviper]

Bad Ass! I had Strasse wheels on my C7...very nice quality and they look great on your car

[PittsburghRT]

Beautiful car. Then again I have liked every car you have had. I love the gold and black. So tired of the black wheels.

[1ststrike]

Nice color combo!!!!!

[Y'orange_UAE]

Congrats on the new shoes and now time for lowering spring or caps ;)

[2010.Blue.White.ACR]

Love the style of the wheel

[21 Bubba]

Sorry man, not feeling it. Too smokey and the bandit for me. But hey, it's not my car.

[triblk6spd]

Thanks all. Well I knew I wouldn't please everyone...I never do. Truth tho...my car...my choice. :t89039:
Spring caps already installed...it's raining so I havnt been able to drive it and get her all settled in. Thanks again all!

[G37Sam]

Nice! What are the offsets on these if I may ask?

[Vprbite]

I like it. It's a bold choice for sure. But I like it and it'smnot something you see often. I love black wheels but obviously they are very popular and you see them a lot. I like the looks of this and think it really stands out.

[sambo32]

Those wheels look killer, unique in a good way.

[Next Phase]

I love your Viper and the color... the style of the wheels looks awesome. With that being said, it is missing something... maybe a gold Viper badge up front to tie it all together????

[VIPEREPIV]

The good:

1. Love the gold!
2. Love the colors contrasting!
3. You have suddenly just made a black car, POP!


If it were me:

1. Tad bit more rubber up front which means I would have gone with 19's.
2. I may may chosen a Matte copper or matte bronze, but again, I do love the gold.


Questions:

1. Were you able to match the overall tire diameters to the stock setup?
2. Or do you now have a little more or less revs per mile?

[XSTAR]

Nice! I like the move to be bold.

[WDW MKR]

Bold choice and I think it looks stellar! I would be interested in that wheel in a different size and color for my graphite car. Any pricing details you're comfortable with sharing? Feel free to PM.

[Crotalidae]

Very nice!!!

The overall tire diameters are close the front 285 25 20 is actually 1" overall diameter bigger...which is a good thing. The OEM 25" diameter was tiny.
Cost? Put it this way...I was under JUST wheel price for wheels and tires with HRE or ADV1 with the Strasse Forged set-up.

[ront/10]

Beautiful

[viper04]

I like it, seen that similar wheel combo on a corvette and like it. What are the tire size for the rear, if you don't mine me asking. Thanks. Sorry got it, missed it at first. Thanks.

[saxon_schmauderer]

Looks great! What did you do with your old wheels? For sale by any chance? :)

[Rocket]

You going to be doing a commercial for Hurst? Looks great!

[KB Viper]

those are awesome, are you planning on doing the carbon areo? that would set it off even more

[DEADEYE]

I like it! I think these would work on a red car as well.

[A2008]

Oh No! It's Smokey and the Bandit all over again!! 10-4! Thousands of Black & Gold T/A's were sold. You may be starting a new nostalgic revolution!

[SWEEN]

Looks awesome!

[gerch85]

looks great!

[Bill Pemberton]

With the gold wheels and the interesting touch on the stripes ( appear matte black?) , I would definitely give this Snake a big thumbs up!!! Striking !

[bluesrt]

looks great, just hope the gold shower heads and faucets don't come back too soon

[Steve M]

looks great, just hope the gold shower heads and faucets don't come back too soon

It would be nice if they did...then I wouldn't feel so compelled to remodel my bathrooms.

The finish on those wheels kinda reminds me of the titanium gold finish you can get on a Desert Eagle. Definitely a bold look.

[bluesrt]

I love your Viper and the color... the style of the wheels looks awesome. With that being said, it is missing something... maybe a gold Viper badge up front to tie it all together????

plus t/a areo, they all need that
