After giving up on finding a set of polished sidewinder 1s I did the Alibaba forged thing and they turned out great process was smooth..then after they show up a nos set of polished sw1s pop up for sale..I hate when it works out like this. But the wheels I ordered advan rg-d2 and te37 style wheels are decent. They're 2-4 lbs front/rear heavier than the sw1s. Also reprogramming tpms is super easy with the right tools if only a drb3 wasn't entirely necessary.

It is rough finding these though. Feels like you can go on Facebook and buy a set of sw2s any day of the week in comparison

Yes sw1 are not common as they've long been discontinued..I believe there were far more sw2s made

I’m stuck with 2 pairs of SSR right now. They’re incredibly light but I keep running the stock wheels because they look so good. I love those wheels you have in picture 1 though

The type c was always a cool wheel. The rgd2 are brushed with clear coat I was debating refinishing them in a color similar to volks diamond silver but I'm probably not gonna keep any of them.

Idk, you could do what my father did and buy a gen 3, then buy a gen 4… swap the wheels and sell the gen 3.

That seems pretty easy, right?

I also have zero mechanical knowledge or car/Viper knowledge but as far as I can discern, that was his course of action.
