Based on fitment, Rota makes several wheels that are a near-ideal fit for the SVX. In 17x7.5", 48 mm offset, 5x114.3 bolt pattern, and at a price of around $650 for a set, the following styles are available:

* Subzero, 17.5 lbs (currently on my car)

* Downshift, 18.5 lbs

* Attack, about 17.5 lbs

* Tarmac (45 mm offset), 16.5 lbs

* Action, 17 lbs

Rota has also just released a new wheel calle the "Torque" which is a 17x8" wheel and comes in a 48 mm offset. I expect that it will be available soon in the 5x114.3 mm bolt pattern.
