Viper makeover in progress
First off, glad to see you switch the wheels. The old white wheels made the car look like a remote control car with the painted white wheels. Granted, I never saw the car in person, but they just didn't look right to me.
So how did you change the steering wheel wrap? Did you replace the wheel or did you have the wheel re-wrapped with solid black?

As requested, rear view. No contest here, the Viper OWNS this view. They look so much meaner rolling down the road than a Corvette does.
Replaced the entire wheel and parking brake assembly. The parking brake sucked, had to take the entire console and shifter out. I never liked those blue parts, they made the interior seem cheap or rice-like. They are a bright blue leather, not very attractive in person. Had they been dark blue, I'd have left them. The car also came with a blue leather shift ****, but that was replaced long ago.
Nitto Invo's are my new favorite tire. I've put ~4000 miles on these and I'm still impressed with them.

Well you should know by know that the Astra's are my favorite wheel design and Vipers are by far my favorite car. So the car just looks amazing and I would have done the same exact things myself.
When you decide to sell the Viper let me know. If I'm lucky enough to have the extra cash I'll defiantly purchase it.

Invo is an excellent tire. They work well in the rain, on the road course, and on the street. Traction isn't a huge problem when you run 345 wide tires like these, plus the Viper is geared for top speed with its 3.08 gearing. It doesn't punish the tires in 1st, it just takes off pretty nicely.
