SVX with golden rims?

Hi!

I've been looking for SVX parts and found a dude that chop two of his SVX (both of them has trany failure). The thing is - he didn't even try to find what car he's killing. One of them was a '97 one ;(
Any way - he offered me his wheels which he said was originals – special edition SVX rims in gold paint.
The question is – was there any “special” version of SVX which comes with those rims or it’s just a fake to sell them?

BTW – our Police still has this (1997) car in record and it’s one of 13th (including mine) still registered (not sure they are running).

Regards
Flipper

There were never any special gold rims for the SVX. He's bs you to buy them.

My car has gold rims!



But they're from an STi. No SVX ever came with factory goldies.

You have any pics of your car? I've often wondered how the gold STi rims would look on a black SVX...

Sure, I don't have any really good ones though. Someone else has an Ebony SVX with gold BBS rims and took a few good pictures.

Re: SVX with golden rims?

Thanks! I really like the look, gold on black seems a bit more subdued than gold+brighter colours. The only thing I would like to change is adding some spacers to the rears. the STi wheels are a +53 offset, which keeps them tucked quite far into the wheel well. I would love to space them out 5-8mm to bring them closer to flush with the side of the car.

Re: SVX with golden rims?

I think my claret would look fantastic with Gold rims with a gold hood ornament also. A light gold, not dark.
a Black car gets by pretty good too with them.
Not black rims , With Gold rims.

I think a little wider footing is a little safer as well.

Can you put spacers on the rear alone without having the center diff throw a fit?

No reason it would, the diff only only cares about rotational speeds, which wouldn't be affected by spacers.
