Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Not my first choice but, I was offered a set of 350Z wheels for $175.00 and couldn't pass it up. Size is 17x8 and I mounted them with 235x45 Bridgestone Potenza RE760 tires. With the offset (?) it's a tight fit in the rear, with bad struts.

They look to be a very good style match Gene.

Very nice indeed.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

Not staggered, I wouldn't do that, all 4 are 8" width. A friend of my son's wanted to go with 18" aftermarket wheels instead of stock.
And thanks for the compliment Joe.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

IMO these look pretty good on it. IDK bout black on black or nething. I mean maybe I shouldn't mess with the color at all and leave it silver.

Re: Wheels that fit the SVX

I think the bottom one is best, personally.

The gold looks nice at first, but I found from my black one w/stock gold rims, that I got sick of it after a while.

Black on black is alright too, but the other thing I found with a black one is that it's hard to see some of the nicer design features of the car; the details stand out more with an accent colour.

My two cents, anyway.
