Rennen Presents: Dodge Viper on Rennen Modular R8

Hey guys, I just wanted to show off some pictures we previously took of a Dodge Viper on a set of our multi piece wheels. As you can see, the customer chose to go crazy with the finish. What we ended up with is a machined face with red windows, a red rivet wall, black inner and outer barrels, and a red pinstripe. Anyways, on to the pics!

So it is true after all, money doesn't buy good taste. I'm sorry, but those rims don't belong on a viper lol. And the car needs a drop.

The wheels have potential, it's just the disgusting direction the owner took in terms of finish, which makes it look like shit.

Paint them all gunmetal finish or black, make the wheels an inch smaller in the front, drop the car, and put on meatier tires. Then it might start to come together.

That car will pull more tail than an Audi (except R8) any day. Well, not with those wheels. It looks like a child took mom's lipstick and went all artist on the wheels. Pick a color.

Now if they were on a Monte Carlo with a 4" lift then I think they would work.

Lol. I like the rims, I really do. But the finish is horrible. And the insanely low profile, no meat setup is meh, and the 4x4 viper is meh, and on top of all this...it's convertible. What the eff?

I can't say I agree with the owner's taste. The wheels themselves are very nice looking in my opinion. They look excellent on the car in the second post you made! But I don't agree with the owner's taste on the red wall and pin stripe. The Viper would look good with those wheels if they were painted silver all around.
