Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Here are some pics and here is the story. I have debated since getting my SVX about a year ago what to do tire/wheel wise. I had it repainted right after I got it, being in New Jersey all it's life, the exterior had really taken a beating, even with only 76,000 miles. I looked at aftermarket stuff, but I always seem to prefer stock stuff. Just weird like that I guess. I finally decided to either yank the original wheels which are peeling badly and have them restored, or go with the BBS gold or silver. These are pretty close in design, made by Enkei. I think there were only about 800 Limited STI's made in 2007 I think, so there are not alot of these around. The guy I bought them from bought them from a guy in New York who pulled them off almost brand new in 2007 to put the BBS wheels on his Limited. The guy I bought them from had a regular STI and planned to black chrome these. But, two weeks after he got them in 07, his wife decided she wanted a divorce, which lead to the STI being sold within a year. They sat in his garage until today, he paid $800 for them back them, this was a steal at $500. They have a very little brake dust on them, but beyond that, they are perfect. So, I now will have my original wheels with a set of Michelin Pilot A/S on them which will be just taking up space. I just had the car Pennsylvania state inspected, the tires are 7/32, according to Tire Rack, they are 10/32 new, so I'd say about 75% tread left. They came on the car, no damage of any kind that I can tell, holes plugged, cracking of sidewalls, etc. The tires go for about $150 a piece new, I'd like to get $300 for the tires, or $500 + shipping for the tires/wheels if anyone is interested. The wheels would make a good set as is for the winter. I can post photos if anyone is interested.
