Hey lads,

My adventure to making my Viper bullet proof and ready for the Top Gear Live show continues.

Anyway, I'm now after some replacement alloy wheels identical to what is on the car at the moment. x2 sets of fronts and x4 sets of rears ideally. So my post has two questions, what type of alloy am I looking for, and where is the best place to find them?

Cheers all,

Rowly

Hi Rowly,

The wheels currently on the car are 5 spoke 96/97 wheels. There are not many, if any available in the UK at the moment... A few people are currently in the process of changing wheels at the moment, so you may get lucky... But your best bet is going to be from the states.

Check through the VCA classifieds, Here's the Wheels & Tyres section:

I have a set on my GTS, which I have been toying with changing to newer wheels from an SRT, but having brand new tyres on the current ones they won't be going cheap I'm afraid...

Give me a call later this evening if you need any advice or want to chat about them.

All the best
Dave

Hi Rowly, I'm one of those in the process of changing and have a new set of SRT rims on the way. As I am in exactly the same position as Dave in that I have very nearly new PS2's on my 5 spokes I hadn't intended putting the new ones on immediately nor had I really intended selling my current ones. However, everyone has their price...
