Pics of Racing Sparco Viper Rs

Anybody have a pic of the Viper Rs somebody on the Forum bought for their FD about 6 months ago? Looked up n down and could not find it.

I've seen the Racing Sparco product photo with the white FD, but looking for more angles. TIA!

All I can offer you is a close up of the wheel.. As you probably know Takakaira.co.jp sells them.


As for the pic of whoever was selling them.. I never even noticed someone had some for sale.

thanks Kev! Yeah, just wanted another angle of them mounted on a 7. Some guy bought some awhiles back and posted pics here, but I can't find them

Extremely attractive know that I know that 18X9.5 weighs 16.3 lbs, mwahahhahaaaa! That, and it retains the multi-piece look (bling), and available with gunmetal centers (bitchin with my silverstone!).

Actually, forgot Taka sells them hehe.

Ltr!

Daniel, No prob. Couldn't help you out too much but 0piston helped you out a little.

BTW, wanted to let you know, because I don't think I did, the Millen springs worked out great. Thanks.

Hey, have not seen that photo yet! Cool, lip not as deep I would like, but at 16 lbs and change - I dont care!

hehe. T-RX7 (Huy of OK) corrupted me and introduced me to my new fav drink. Huy = bad influence.

Daniel, I installed them about 3 weeks ago. The rears were easy, and the fronts were also pretty easy too except I had to remove the upper a-arm. All in all, even with still using my stock shocks with them, the ride is a big improvment over stock. I also added a front strut tower bar though so that probably tightend everything up a little too. Thanks again.

P.S. I am getting to be like you, I'm now wanting 18x9's or 18x10's all the way around on my car.. I'm not sure if I will be able to use these springs I have now or not. If not then no big deal I'll just save a little longer and get tein's. They'll have to wait a couple months though.

Thumbs up I was dying for Racing Sparcos

I eventually found them on Takakaira also but it looked like the offsets were limited and I want a 10" or 10.5" in the rear. I also don't know if they are hub and lug centric. I won't buy rims with spacers. They look awsme on the pic of the CWest/Sparco car but that car posted above doesn't look that exciting, maybe it's the lighting?

Having a hub centric wheel is no big deal. All it does is center the wheel onto the hub (the hub has a specific size for each brand/model) when you first mount the wheel. Once you start tightening down on the lug nuts, it no longer matters. You are probably confusing the hub rings with wheel spacers.

Every wheel that Tirerack sells is hub centric.

You are right though, little pissed of that the 18X10 comes in only something like +14 offset. Now exactly what car is that for? (probably Skyline GTR)

I think it looks so good on the Cwest kitted car because its slammed, hehe .
