Crossover rims Idea
 
I was at work today (jiffy Lube) and someone came through the shop with a new Nissan Altima SE-R, and I noticed how awesome the rims are on that car; FORGED 18x8s. Anyone care to guess, or even know, if they will fit?

Not sure on the offset but it looks like the newer Altimas use a 5x114.3 patten so at least that matches.

I like the 350Z rims.. the new SE=R rims are.. I dunno... they look good on the car but I dont think theyd go well with the touring style of the SVX... SC430 rims seem to be the best I think.

Well, I think the SC430 rims make the car look too "boat-y".

I was looking into this option because I thought I might be able to find a deal on the rims on eBay or something, but so far the only source I can find charges 250$ per rim.

Well the SC's rims are big and our cars need a big rim... look at the stock rims.. they make our car look big... A nice flattering rim makes the SVX look good. Lexus IS rims would look good too. Maybe Infinity M rims...

I also like the look of Maxima 18x7.5s, the big fat 6-spoke ones. They're also much cheaper and easier to find, though no doubt heavy :)

The new MAZDASPEED 6 rims would look hot too

Nemesis Destiny 12-16-2005 08:35 PM

Yeah, they're pretty neat. Also not cheap though :)

I wonder how wide they are....

Boxer6SVX 12-17-2005 08:27 PM

7.5 or 8 I believe

306.50ea from the dealer
1162.78 for a set

Ouch. Nice, but ouch. :D Thanks for checking into it though.

mazda offers a warranty with them too. scratch chip replacement for 2 years, despite what car u put them on.
