Pic request, bronze wheels on silver SVX

[Ricochet]

I'm looking at some FN01R-C's for the car because they're super cheap and super light. I was thinking silver, but then started thinking bronze. I tried google but couldn't find any silver/black top SVX's with bronze wheels. Think the colors will clash too much?

wow nice looking wheels.

[Ricochet]

I know, and they weigh 15-17lbs and cost around $180/ea!
I'm looking for 17x7, +48mm offset. Is that the best size? Should I get 17x8 for the rear?

Here is a three tone from the ItalianDesign archives (Light silver/dark silver body, black roof and no spoiler.) SO HERE IS THE CAR...

Sorry to say, but your link doesn't work. :(

[svxcess]

What link? I have the SVX and the wheels embedded into the post as IMG files. I can see them fine. I assume everyone else can see them

You might want to consider Rota wheels. Also light, even less expensive, and available in a large variety of styles and colors.

If you look on eBay, Suby Dude is selling 17x8" et48 5x114.3 Boosts and Torques for $611 + shipping. An eBay store called Garage Star USA has 17x8" Rota Torques for $529 + shipping. Now that is inexpensive! Both the Torque and the Boost weigh about 19 lbs. I just ordered a set of bronze Torques for my SVX earlier today.

FN01R-Cs are nice wheels. Too bad every @sshole yo-boy 240SX kid with a credit card has 'em on their JDM tyte Y0!!! rides. Kind of devalues them.

Anyhow:

So, every Honda and wrx has Rotas.. If I cared about what everybody else likes I wouldn't have bought an SVX. Anyways thanks all for the photochops but I was looking for a real pic. Tofu, I edited your picture and darkened them to almost their real color.

It looks pretty clean imo, but they stand out too much. I want the entire car to be easy on the eyes without one thing standing out more than the other. I guess my search continues..

In my opinion, it is no contest. The silvers win hands down. :)

6 spokes, ew.. so 90's.
5 or 7 is where it's at.

Six spokes look pretty darn good on a Skyline. :-)
