Ok, so where can we get them and how much are they? I can't find them anywhere. I may go this route if I can find pricing on tires and whereabouts to get them...

Rims are too tall for me, I prefer some sidewall for better looks (IMO) + performance. The width looks cool tho.

Yeah, a 21 inch rim is retarted. The width is nice, but what's the purpose if you don't have any sidewall. Sidewall wrinkle is one of the most important factors of traction. To me that's pointless and ugly. I'll take my 325/50/15s any day of the week.

Found a press release saying they'll be on the market first quater of 08'. If they're Z rated and under $800 a pop I'll probably go this way. Of course I'll still keep my 18s with M/T DRs on hand.

Definintely too tall of a rim for me too, would have looked much better in a 19 or even a 20, those things have almost zero sidewall.

I like the width, but I'd rather have more sidewall.

Do they have to MAKE the tire around that rim? how the hell do tehy mount that tire without effin up the rim? good luck getting tires put on wherever you live, ship it back to the factory for tire changes . . .

Because they're H rated to 130mph!! Yeah! I was going that way then happen to be glancing over specs and read the 130mph thing. Sure glad I didn't place the order for the custom 15x20 rims!! Like I said if they're Z rated and being on a viper I can't see how they wouldn't be, I'll probably go this route.

The car is already mini tubbed. A body fabrication shop in Dallas is making full widebody rear quarters in fiberglass for me.
