I'm calm.

It's just a statement of opinion. This is a very useful thread in doing what it says on the title, discussing rims that FIT the SVX. However, of the people who want to upgrade their cars to different or larger rims a very high percentage of them are attracted to gold coloured rims. Rims that FIT are not necessarily always rims that SUIT.

So it needs to be said here that gold rims do not suit most of the available SVX colour schemes. The purchasers seem unable to notice the problem, so we are ending up with a lot of cars wearing good rims that cheapen the overall look of the SVX because of a bad colour mismatch.

Think before you bling.
