Found some 17x8s
 
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

What they look like???!!! I wanted 17x8's, but I couldnt find any I liked.

PICS!?! As you should know thats what I'm looking for.

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...

TomsSVX 08-03-2005 01:36 PM

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.

Nothing wrong with the source, I just think they are a bit cluncky looking.
Nissan Altima SE-R wheels are really nice light weight forged wheels that should bolt right up.

Peace

daluvabull 08-03-2005 03:41 PM

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.
