Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Joe, I completely agree with you, I know that the Murano and FX wheels are heavier than the SVX's 16. And I completely agree that braking efficiency becomes lower with a heavier rim. I was just pointing out that the looks of the FX 18" might be better than that of the Murano's assuming they have both the same weight (FX and Murano).

Anyways, to my taste again I say that a rim with lip will look awesome on any car, especially the SVX. Check the difference between the 350z with OEM Track rims and a very similar rim with Angelina Jolie lip.

OEM Track 350z


AKITAA Rim


Please note, that the AKITAA rim lip is the maximum I would see as reasonable to install on a car. Beyond that it becomes Botox lip
