A few people do make wheels for the Viper (the 10" from the front of the
Viper seem to fit ok on the Dak (just tried them quickly, didn't
actually run them on the truck as I only have 2...). Manufacturers
include (ones I can think of right off the top of my head)...
* Forgeline
* Kinesis
* HRE
* Speedline
Most of these run around $3K-4.5K for a set of 4...

How many manufacturers are making aftermarket wheels for the Viper ? The
reason that Dak wheels are hard to find is economics . They feel that
the
potential market for the wheels is very VERY low compared to a wheel
that
uses something like a 5x4.5 .
You really think they are gonna spend the development money to make
Viper
wheels ?
Think about the sizes of Viper wheels and the offset too .
