New wheels for the Viper (pics) I've been enjoying the random sunny days lately, and finally had the chance to install my Eibach coil springs and new CCW SP600 wheels. The wheels are 19x10 fronts and 20x13 rears (285 wide front tires, 345 wide rears, Nitto Invo). I had the wheels custom powdercoated locally to give it more of a race inspired appearance. The plain centercaps are temporary, I'm having another shop custom make some with Viper head logos milled into them.
Springs were relatively simple to install since I have the proper tools and coil compressor to do them. They take about 3 hrs the first time, but I can do them in 2 hrs no problem now. Ride quality is improved over the stock setup, probably due to getting rid of the run-flat tires. Traction is also improved with the Nittos. The suspension is still stiff like usual, but less jarring over bumps.
Next up is the Paxton that shows up in a week or so. I'll have fun installing that one too! Euroteck 2-pc rotors and EBC red stuff pads are also on their way. I'm getting the car ready for the Texas Mile event in March.
Anyways, here are the pics I snapped this afternoon.

Sharp Tony! That white just seems to jump out and grabs eyeballs! Nice choice of wheels than any I've ever seen. However, how white will those stay let's say a 10 mile drive down the road?

For some reason I just can't stand painted rims. Unless they're metallic black. Yours are nice though (I guess). It's a damn viper though so it would be hot with hubcaps, nice car.
