Damn, you didn't waste any time! Flat black stripes would be killer, but I'd probably just put a silver pinstripe on the lip of those and tie them in that way instead. Vipers need blaring stripes, otherwise they look too much like a C6 Vette.

I would love to see a machined or polished lip to set them off. Otherwise, it can be easy to visually lose just how awesome (and huge!) these are. I still think it will look killer. Maybe Tony's idea of the pinstripe would be good, and removable if you don't like it. Can't wait to see them mounted!

It will look a lot like my Z06 with the silver pinstripe. You can do them with vinyl pinstriping tape to get the same effect. Just mount the tires first, then put the stripe on. You might even put the stripe on the inside edge where the face of the wheel meets the lip.

Car was filthy and didnt expect to take pictures last night. Tires and rims still had the goo left on them from the installation.

Car is going to get dropped lower then it sits now. I was afraid with the 19/20 setup it was going to be to close to the fenders. Didnt realize the profile of the tire was acually shorter then the stock size by almost an inch even though it is a 20in rim!

Anyway here are the pics.







Ill get better ones when its cleaned up and dropped

I also removed the viper tags. Felt it cut into the curves of the car.
