Default GTS Viper: Cleaned, new tag, new Fikse's

I'm sure some of you are familiar with the car, but I haven't really given any updates on progress in awhile, so here you go!

I had CCW Classics on the car before but the mesh pattern was so familiar to me that I wanted to change (I've had 3 cars with almost the exact same pattern as the CCW's). I changed to some Fikse FM/5's. I had Fikse FM/10's on my previous car and I loved the quality/finish and it was something the CCW's lacked. I think these wheels fit the era of the car (stepped lip, simple 5 spoke etc.) and the color. The car is in desperate need of a catback and some better tips, but I'm not going to mess with it until the turbos are in and I know how my exhaust is going. For those wondering the car is getting twin 67mm turbos and should make 1000RWHP on kill. Let me know what you guys think!

Fikse FM/5's 18x10 and 18x13 with Michelin Pilots, it'll get MT DR's on the rear soon.

Before:



After:

A few better pics from today:

So sexy, I love that year of the viper, I think they look the best, although the newest one looked good too!

Car looks sick. Before it looked a little meaner with the wheels, but now it is a little more classy

Wheels look good...

Man, how dark is your front windshield tinted? Looks like 5%... That looks like it'd be hell to see out of at night!

Wind sheild is only 35%, I can't tell at night it's there at all. It looks a little dark in the pictures for some reason though, black interior perhaps?

Most likely a custom kit. I want a big single, it isn't done really, but there are some hurdles. I'd love a big 108mm, but more than likely a custom twin 67mm setup.

New wheels and lip look awesome!!!! i liked the other wheels too but in 17's they looked an inch too small. Not too familiar w/Viper exhaust but some nice exhaust tips would really set it off(rear-end wise).

I love CCW's but for them to look good I'd have to do a 19" (6 spokes is a lot of spokes), then I don't have any good drag radial options for a lot of power and the new NT505R isn't proven yet, and I was getting tired of all polished wheels, lol.
