I got tired of cleaning the white CCW wheels, so I ordered a set of iForged Astra 19"/20" wheels to replace them. I also got rid of the blue leather steering wheel and parking brake handle today, replaced them with black pieces. Next week the more aggressive 2008 Viper hood goes on the car.

My new wheels showed up this week. They are iForged "Astra" in 19/20 with brushed centers and polished lips. Tires are Nitto Invo in 285-19 fronts, 345-20 rears. Today I also replaced all the blue interior parts with black parts. Next week the '08 hood goes on.

Here are some pics with the Z06.

 

Looks a hellova lot better. I'm not really one for white wheels, but it was definitely a way to stick out.

Also, pics of said hood?

 

Love the new rims, very VERY Nice.

 

looks great man! is it just me or does that vette and that viper have almost the same exact body lines for the hood/fenders.. even the same hight.. Thats kinda freaky actually.. who stole ideas from who? Did Dodge steal from Chevy or did Chevy steal from Dodge?

 

those rims are absolutely gorgeous. they go perfectly with the car. good choice.

 

 

Very nice, looks much better. I love that cyber gray on the Z06.

 

the white was so... perfect...

 

10x better. The white wheels looked cool, but kinda cheapened the look of the car imo.

 

Nice rims! WOW that Z06 is zweet.

 

The new wheels are sick. I might look into them.

 

when are you going to start modding the Z06?

 

thank god, i hated those white wheels

 

Looks great both ways! SICK CARS!!!

 

Good choice, car looks a lot better

 

Are those both your cars?

 

Good call on changing the interior colors. Way better Black.

 

i dont know if yuou have already said...

but which one do you like better?

 

SRT Viper came out in 2003. C6 Corvette came out in 2005. Guess you know the answer to that

The Viper has a lower roof and is wider, has a longer hood for the V10. But, the cars do have similar hood creases and such.

As for which I like the best, I like them each for their own reasons. The Viper feels more heavy duty and well built. It has better steering, brakes, tranny, seats, etc.. No electronic gadgets, feels more like a racecar that is street legal. The Corvette rides smoother, easier to get in/out of, attracts far less attention, has modern electronic gizmos and cupholders. The Viper is better suited for a weekend toy, the Z06 is my daily driver.

 

thats awesome man! thanks for the insight... like i will ever need it! hahahahaha
