Anodized Carbon on Forgeline FF3 wheels

[Vprbite]

Thank you, everyone!


Thanks, Jeff! Very funny. Coincidentally, I had someone contact me a few weeks back about buying my car. I'm not interested in selling it...but everything is for sale for the right price

Haha, thanks. Florida roads aren't too bad, but we have our fair share of crappy roads around the area. The car is lowered with BC coilovers. I had VE caps, but sold them since I knew I wanted to lower the car pretty aggressively.

Hey Intrigue, I call em as I see em! This one is definitely a keeper, IMO. But so were your others. So I guess it's all relative. True, everything is for sale for the right price. The people who sold me my house, a year later wanted to purchase it back because they hated where they had moved to. Was there a price I would have sold for? Yes. Was it practical? No. I wouldn't sell that one if I were you. But if someone offers you 800k or so, maybe consider it. : )

Looks great!
Did you add the rear diffuser, and if so, where did you get it?

Looks dope man!!! Is it easy to maintain/clean the matte finish?

I am curious about that too. Should take delivery of the matte gunmetal ACRE in a month.

I am planning a full wrap after hearing that the matte paint is super sensitive.

awesome car and wheel combo. what offsets did you go with? will you please post pics of the side view of how close the rear wheels in the wheel well. i'm debating on offsets for aftermarket wheels currently.

Thanks again everyone for the kind words! The wheels and aero gave the car a completely different look and am very satisfied with the results so far.

Looks sooo sick! However, certain enter & exits must not take to kindly to your drop & 2.0 splitters.

The front end actually raised up a bit going from the OEM 295/30/18 to the Invo 285/30/19 tire. I haven't scraped the splitters once yet.

Looks gorgeous, how much do the wheels weigh?

I don't have a scale at home, so I didn't have a chance to weight them unfortunately.

Ron, yes I did. A Viper owner makes the blades and can be found on ebay for $25/blade. Just search for "viper diffuser blades".

Just like any other paint finish, you must use caution when cleaning the car. I use the 2-bucket method and a foam canon with Chemical Guys matte soap and matte detailer spray. Some of the over-the-counter stuff is ok as long as it does not contain ammonia since ammonia is what hurts the finish and will cause the matte to become "sheeny". I haven't bought any wax yet, but there are a couple of matte specific waxes - Chemical Guys makes an 8oz can for $175 and Svisswax makes a 6.7oz can for $280.

You're going to love it! If it's anything like the anodized carbon, the amount of pearl you see in certain lighting will surprise you. I have my bumper, headlights, side sills, and behind the rear tires wrapped.

Tony put the numbers together for me. He knew that I like to aggressively lower my cars, so he made the offsets a bit less aggressive to avoid any rubbing.
19x10.5 +27
20x13.0 +62

One of the best looking Vipers (of any generation) that I've seen. I'm happy to have been a part of this project! You picked the perfect wheel and finish.
