Wheels that fit the SVX

Also, I was running about -1.3 deg of negative camber on the rear wheels at that time. If I were running less camber, there would have been even less clearance.

Yeah, its an RS200 Evo. I also thought that Cosworth was the brains behind the machine, but when I called them to talk about the car (trying to help a friend in Japan who is rebuilding one), they said it was a Ford Motorsports project. Has a Cosworth motor though. Awesome machines. 650 hp from a 2.1 liter motor. I think that pic is from a mid '80s group B rally.

Thanks. I didnt like it at first becasue the wheels seem really brite. They would probably look better on red or a lighter color but the paintjob comes soon i hope.

Does anyone know any good spoke rims that at black and have a silver polished ring lip like these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-BL...spagenameZWDVW but I dont really like the spoke set up and dunno much about ADR seems cheap for rims or maybe I'm just used to 5 grand+ for SUV and truck rims which are usually what I buy and look at

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-BL...3181QQtcZphoto something like that

I wasnt sure If I'm allowed to post ebay links so I apologize I don't own nates wheels nor do I know who does right now so I'm not intending to advertise

I'm looking for that kind of spoke set up more or less deal if possible without silver rivets.

Motegi LC-12s will fit. The gunmetal portion is much darker than in the pictures.

I like those alot but wish they came in black center

[Nemesis Destiny]

Like I said, the centres are a lot darker than in those pics. They look almost black.

I mean.. Enkei..

Alright, I'm looking at:

Oz Superleggera III; 18x8.5 bolt pattern; 5-114.3 (for an 06 sti, so I'm guessing the offset/bore will work?)

and,
Enkei NTO3+M; 18x7.5 offset=42 bolt=5 x 114.3 bore=72.6


This may be the wrong place to ask, but will they fit? I must admit, I didn't go through all the pages of entries, but I didn't notice anyone with this kind of setup..

Thanks.

WOW ya those are much darker than in the pictures but im looking for a jet black nothing lighter than JET BLACK for me just because I want triple black and I love black rims silver lip on black vehicles

I have read that any rims for a 05 06 WRX will work so I guess I will look into those since obviously theres a much larger selection there.

Rota Wheel has that spoke design in several wheels (G Force, Tarmac 3, Tarmac 2), but none have the polished lip. Nice thing about the Rotas is that they make some fairly wide wheels (17x8 or 18x8) with proper lug pattern and offset for the SVX.

I seen the specs on the new Eclipse wheels on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-17-...QQcmdZViewItem
Wondering how they will fit

[Nemesis Destiny]

They will likely fit, but the tires are a little bigger than stock SVX size, by 3.87%. Basically, when you're going 60MPH, your speedo will only read 57.6MPH. You will get slightly better highway fuel economy and have slightly slower acceleration. It may throw off your ABS sensors.
