This is for the Viper fans. I was looking at Vipers on Autotrader's website. Quite a few Vipers seem to be the ACR edition. The ACR has better shocks, brakes, and 10 more HP. Most noticeable are the rims. If you take a 1999 Viper GTS you can make something similar. It's small changes, but it does look the part. The best rims that I have found that work are the CH0227 rims in the Today's Special section in GT Auto. Those are the rims from the Chevrolet Corvette C5R. They show up in day one of the lineup. You can see what day your used wheel list is on by checking this thread:

The inventory changes daily. When you get the rims, it's time to go to the Dodge tuning area.

The real ACR has improved shocks so I put some semi-racing shocks on my Viper in the game. The real ACR has 10 more hp over the stock GTS because it has a different air filter. Since you cannot buy just an air filter you can use the next closest thing and that is the Port & Polish. It adds 11hp. The real ACR also has improved brakes so I bought the sports brakes for my virtual ACR. The real ACR has no radio or air conditioner standard so it is 60 lbs. lighter than normal GTS. It is an option though. I looked at using the Stage 1 weight reduction, but it reduced it too much. I just left the weight alone.

It's not allot, or probably not that drastic of a change but it is a cool little change. :)
 
I find that BBS's wheels are closer to the ACR's real wheels (Which, I believe were actual BBS wheels) than a wheel with a giant nut in the center.

You're right. They do look better. I like the first BBS wheel. I had looked through the BBS wheels before I really started looking at the actual rims. I had a general idea, but really didn't look at the details. I liked the C5R rims initially because of the black center piece. The real ACR rims have a black Viper symbol. I just wanted a black center piece to represent the Viper symbol. I completely forgot about BBS. Anyway, I just think it makes a simple, but cool modification. I like to keep my cars as stock as possible, but little mods like this are pretty cool. Plus, with the better looking rims being BBS, I don't have to hunt around the used rim store any more. :crazy:
