New wheels for my TA.

[FLATOUT]

Well they arrived yesterday evening and I spent all night hand painting the engraved SRT logos in TA Orange. Very happy with how the set turned out. Best offsets I've ever put on a Viper by far. Wheels are stock sizes and I went with the Toyo R888's. Fitments are good and no rubbing at the stock ride height. I'm sure I'll lower it at some point but for now here she is.

Also thanks to Austin for helping me with some photo shops, and the usual group I bounce ideas off of, Slowhatch (Alex), Nineball (Tony), and Absolutehank (Ryan).

It edit some more photos tomorrow night but here's the first two.

Very sinister. Nice job Andy.

Looks awesome bro!! Offsets looks perfect.

[VENOM V]

Damn! Just damn! Bull's eye.

R888's are da bomb! Quite possibly the best gripping tire for the street money can buy without going to a DR.

Thanks guys, I made so many changes to the design I didn't think I'd ever get them into production. Really happy with how they turned out.

How much do they weigh compared to the stockers? Lookin good...

Any time, Andy. Glad I could help. I think the wheels turned out great and look perfect on your TA. Very nice.

This was my only dissapointment in the set. They came out to about 5lbs per wheel heavier wich I didn't expect staying with stock sizes and a slightly lighter tire (about 1lb per wheel). There are a couple ways to cut that delta down though that I can do on future sets. Machining race pockets in the back of the spokes, and using a titanium fastener would get them to about 2lbs per wheel heavier than stock I think.

Everyone else, thanks for the compliments it was a really fun project and I think they work with the look of the Gen V/II Vipers.
