Re: SVX with golden rims?
I wanted to do something a little different, and I REALLY like the look of the RX-8 wheels.

But that Gold RX8 stuff been done already by the boy racers over on the MX6 forum. If shine is your thing, gotta stick with the bling!! Now they match the hood emblem (even though you're not in the 'hood) (Wear THE jacket when you pick them up) .

Re: SVX with golden rims?
I was planning on going with STi BBS Gold for the wheel colour. As long as there isn't a '93 DSM with faded paint and purple tint sporting the same scheme, then I am secure with my choice.
I will have THE Jacket at Reading again. No, you can't wear it again. As for the Rays' Wheels... I'm not looking for "bling" factor.

Re: SVX with golden rims?
So this thread (and a couple others I've read) has me wondering... Does the SVX have a more common wheel bolt pattern than most Subys? I remember looking for wheels for both of my Legacies and having a very limited selection due to the offset of the wheel studs. Seems like there are quite a few options for the SVX when it comes to wheels.

Re: SVX with golden rims?
Most wheels for 2005+ STi's will fit. For OEM you have your pick of 05+ STi and Tribeca wheels. We share the 5x114.3 bolt pattern with them.

Re: SVX with golden rims?
Is there a good way to just paint the regular wheels gold??
What about paining them the same color as the car?? I bought a new 90 white legacy with grey hub caps and painted them white to match the car. Was pretty nice. Keith |

Re: SVX with golden rims?
Buy some gold paint here. You probably want to do the usual prep work, clean, sand, prime as necessary.
As for body coloured wheels.....Never been a fan. Every time I see a mid 90's Grand Am with wheels that are matched to the car I feel a bit nauseous.

Re: SVX with golden rims?
I mixed some STi enkie gold rim paint at work. I only painted the battery tie down but the color was dead accurate. I can get a paint code if needed.
