I would like to retain the ride quality of the original wheels. I was looking at the Discount Tire website, and the site specifies that many wheels will work on the SVX, yet some of the offset of the recommended wheels is quite different from stock. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you're happy with the style of the stock wheels, I'd suggest getting a set of refurbished ones if you want 16" wheels. As far as specs go, the stock wheels are very nice. They are light (19 lbs), wide (a little over 7.5" wide), and they have the proper offset for the SVX. You won't find another 16" rim with these specs at a reasonable price.
