No complaints from me on the results with the new wheels, but yes the aftermarket market is limited.

Those really look nice on the knights armor grey... Not too redneck but not too "baller" -chromed out 22 or 24 inchers which start to look a little out-of-place since after all, this is more an off-roader with comfort rather than a street car with room (like a caddy or X5)...
Super nice photos, too great job!

Love those wheels. I had a very similar wheel on my Viper, the Forgeline VR1, but it was a Viper specific light one piece wheel that was made before these came out and these seem to be modeled after the VR1. Tony is also a Viper owner that is pretty big in the Viper community.

Stock (garbage) factory 10 spokes - Some may think these are expensive

****Disclaimer: Please note that aftermarket wheels will always cheapen the look of your vehicle, and are garbage, based on the sole premise that they are not OEM and any non OE/aftermarket parts are crap!

Michael-
Is there a reason why you went with 275 series tires? Whenever I put a wheel/tire combo together online, 265 always shows up as the recommended size. Also, would 275 be the reason for the rubbing you mentioned earlier?? Thanks

Issue with rubbing is due to wheel offset and tire size. Wheel offsets were determined based on this tire size though.
Used this offset calculator to help me figure it out:

Places like tirerack won't go outside the box and say something will work if they aren't 100% positive it will.

Thanks Michael. If you don't mind me asking, what is the offset and width on your new wheels? Also, how did the rubbing go away? Thanks again!
