You guys are so helpful!
That's why we're here! Ask away!

Now that the sentimental crap is over, will these Enkei Falcons work?
here: http://www.enkei.com/falcon.html#
I was looking at mainly the 17" or 18"
I attached the size chart.
The Enkei Falcon looks nice, and I think will be a compliment to most SVX colours.

17x7 in 45 offset will definitely fit. 17x8 might (probably?) fit in 45 offset. I have 17x8 in 42 offset and there are no problems, and I think more than 3mm of space, so you should be ok. In 18x7.5, I don't see you having issues, but I have never seen an 18x8 on these cars, and with a 40mm offset, I am unsure. Others may have better experience with the larger rim sizes.

I could not find any information about how much they weigh, but Enkei doesn't publish that in the spec, so it's likely not a strong point of this wheel. I don't know if you care, but I thought I would point that out.

p.s. I was still wondering what other vehicle had the same wheel specs as the svx. When I go to certain wheel sites they will have one of those things that lets you pick the right size wheels for your car, and it seams like every other site doesn't recognize the svx as a car. They say in 1992 Subaru only made the forester.
I don't know that there is anything else with the exact spec as an SVX, but I would suggest searching other years as well, since they are all the same. WRX STi may be similar, but I don't know for sure.

You might try 1010tires.com - they have a pretty comprehensive selection and fitment guide, as well as diameter/speed calculators. The fitment guide is not 100% though; a set I bought one time for another car supposedly didn't fit according to their guide, but they did in fact fit (it was close).

Happy wheel hunting!
