Want some suggestions on wheels
I'm looking for some bronze five (or more) spoke wheels. I thought that the bronze or gold would look good with my laguna blue. Impreza wanna-be

Bronze/gold would look bad. You should get these instead: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26162

check out www.discounttire.com
if you chat online with customer support they can cut you a better deal on certain wheels and tires that is much better than what they advertise on the site. |

Your Criteria...
is strictly esthetic. What about wheel weight, diameter, width. and offset?
For example: Low budget-find a set of RX7 wheels. They're 'crossover' wheels because they were OEM on Mazdas but they are 5 spoke 16x8 and weigh only 15 lbs. You should be able to find a set for $400, perhaps less. Paint them yourself or used the money saved to have them painted professionally. 16" tires are less expensive than larger tires. Big budget-Get a set of ROH Drifts, a 5 spoke design, in 18x8, have 'em painted. They're about 25lbs. Fairly light for a large wheel. You can go as large as 255/35 tires with these wheels. Huge budget- Bronze WRX or STi rally wheels. They come in bronze. Fitment may be problematic. Thought I read somewhere (in the Network?) there is/are v. expensive OEM rally wheels 17x8(?) that fit the SVX. Tires? Pirelli PZero Nero M+S are v. popular w/SVXers or my choice Avon MTech 500s, both excellent values. Good luck, WGJ Last edited by WGJ; 05-18-2005 at 01:31 AM. |

Bwana you stinker...
you're shameless. In this thread you're saying "bronze/gold would look bad," then suggest your old wheels would look better. Meanwhile back at the ranch you've got this new thread featuring:
My SVX, now with 100% more STi *PICS* ( 1 2 ) Check this thread out...it features pictures of Bwana's new BRONZE/GOLD '05 STi 17x8 wheels and they are way cool. Go! Look! WGJ |
