Help me on wheel choice
What wheel would you keep....I can not decide. I would have to swap the tires over if I go with the RX8 wheels (tires on them too noisy). Give me your choice.

Re: Help me on wheel choice
ya, that is a tough choice, and nice looking car.
i like the murrano rims they fill out the wheel wells better, make the car look more confident. when you say keep? do you mean on the car or are you selling a set? Last edited by kjoyes; 05-30-2012 at 11:27 AM.

Re: Help me on wheel choice
Will be selling something in the fall...I have 4 sets of wheels for this car and as soon as I make some decisions as to what two to keep and two to sell they will be going up for sale.

Re: Help me on wheel choice
Great looking SVX, hopefully mine will get there one day
 Both wheels look good but I think I prefer the RX8 ones. PS. I see your antenna stops at the same place as mine does

Re: Help me on wheel choice
I prefer the RX-8 wheel. I think the angular lines compliment the car better. Also, I like the recessed center over the capped center.
BTW, beautiful SVX!

Re: Help me on wheel choice
I like the front wheels better.
The rears look too much like hubcaps to me.. The front look like rims..

Re: Help me on wheel choice
Another thing to consider, RX-8 wheels are probably lighter, being made for a sportish car while the Murano wheels are for a heavy SUV and might have a negative effect on your suspension performance.

Re: Help me on wheel choice
I'm one of the few who will vote for the Murano, they may be heavier but I just love the look of them! They are on the wishlist for my SVX!!
Decisions, decisions! Good luck, tough choice!!

Re: Help me on wheel choice
Weird I've always hated the murano wheels but i like them on your car. I've always loved the rx8 wheels but i think the muranos look better.
