What do you guys think? They are $209.00 each, plus $40.00 shipping for the set.

John,
Those wheels look amazing. This a wheel offset calculator I use frequently:
http://marksink.com/tire_wheel_offset/offset.html
Stock SVX wheel = 16x7.5 with a +55mm offset
OZ Racing Palladio = 17x7.5 with a +48mm offset
Per the offset calculator, the change after installing those wheels will be:
Quote:
The clearance from strut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 7mm MORE
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 7mm

The offset of those wheels are close enough to our factory offset to work. Your suspension will be slightly softer, but you will have a wider track front & rear.
