Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

I've thought about those more than once.

Nissan and Mazda wheels seem to fit SVX pretty readily.

I wish some of these slick wheel designs, other OEM, and aftermarket, were more readily available in 17" diameters, especially 7.5 or 8 inch widths.

I wonder about 18" wheels affecting SVX's sublime ride quality. I have 18"s and lowering springs on my Legacy... and they have (springs mostly) shagged out the dampers, and the car rides poorly.

Maybe 17" wheels and 50 series tires would be a bit more gentle than 18" wheels and 45 series tires... even though the 18" wheels look good on the SVX.
