that I think will work just great on an Svx
+45mm offset too.
Dont want to say until I get a set and try them, but that
should be soon. :D

In all honesty i could never find rims that i really liked on the SVX except the Einki shogun. I love the stock rims that i have.. I dont know it seems to flow with the car better y'know.
I like way the STi rim looks on it as well but i really want to get some lowering springs for my car. I think when i played Gran Turismo 1 and 2 is when i knew if i had one i would keep the stocks. In 2, i could never find a style i liked. But thats my crappy opinion on it. :D

there could be worse things on your Svx, at least Ford was smart enough to use such a wheel, and a good looking wheel at that on their Mustangs
with the same bolt pattern and heavy offset to also work on the Svx..
but you can always keep looking :p

the probe wheels don't look too ba either. i am switching to RX7 crossover rims right now because they are wider, thats all.

agreed, but the probes are 16x7, as I think the RX7s are too...
for a real 17x8 I think this is one of the best options for looks, cost
weight etc...

the RX7 wheels are 16x8 and only weigh 16lbs each. A perfect compliment to the SVX especially with the upgraded suspension I am installing.. Dayle, why don't you offer a Koni/GC bolt in coilover?? Contact me and maybe we can set something up.

Nissan Altima SE-R wheels are really nice light weight forged wheels that should bolt right up.

yeah they will bolt up. expensive though- 635 a piece on courtesy Nissan website; that not does include the bridgestone pole position S-03s- about 225 each;

i am very careful when i drive my SER when i need more room than the SVX or the SVX are in the shop

mbtoloczko is working on that very item and is saying something like late august for a completion for about half of the coil over kit on Dayles site.

I offer the Konis, and I can get the GC parts, but Ive driven on them myself and didnt like the results personally.
So I dont like selling something Im not comfortable with.
But I can get the coilovers if you want and send you the pkg.
The 16x8 rx wheels are great, thats one wheel I suggested getting a few yrs ago..
but if its 17" you want, thats why I suggest the new stang wheels. ;)

which Im not very good at, but a set of wheels in today
and took some pics, and photo shopped the wheels on my blk car tonite.
think they look good, on a silver or red car they would also look pretty sweet.
The rims are pretty lite too for their size :D
Ill have a set of the rims for sale soon I hope.

I think the Stang wheels would look fine on the SVX if the center hub cover had a Alcyone emblem on it. :D

Yea, get rid of the FORD bit on the wheels and I think they look alright too :)

thats my next project, new decals for the centercaps..
either the Alcyone emblem or the SVX letters ....
Going to get some made this week...
black on silver
The price on these will be cheaper then any brand name wheel out there, no matter where you buy them.
I expect most sets to sell for between $400-450
Mine may be a little more only because I have to get
the decals made for the caps

What offset I assume something close? I guess I'm gonna have to find a second job again so I can afford something.
