Re: my new wheels !!!

Yeah I love the black SVX. Those with black tint are awesome and those wheels compliment the looks of your car really well.

I'll have to come clean here. I don't like black wheels on the SVX, plus I really don't like wheels that are aftermarket and have 10 holes for two types of spacing.

Having said that yours are the nicest black wheels I have seen on the SVX. Very stylish man.

Re: my new wheels !!!

Sorry about that Francis. I'm just being honest.

Your wheels are in fact not really black at all, I'd reckon them a very dark tungsten, or maybe charcoal. Whatever the colour may be, they are stylish and they suit the SVX.

Joe

Joe - "Over here" black aftermarket wheels are very much considered the proper "upgrade" when modding an import (Japanese). I've actually seen it spill over into German cars now as well as U.S. like new Camaros and Mustangs. In general, black wheels = car is faster. Or at least pretending to be faster.

Yeah, started as a "tuner" (some say "ricer") thing, but now it's pretty mainstream and I got to admit I like the look, especially on stealth black cars.

BTW - For any "street cred" these days, chrome wheels are an absolute no-no on anything but a classic muscle car or "old person" sedan.

Personally, I just stick to silver so as to avoid any controversy from either side of the fence (or pond).

I can't seriously see why anyone would put those wheels on their SVX...

I love my black w/chrome lip wheels. They're a simpler 5-spoke, but I really like the look of these too. If you really need a reason; we don't show our brake dust like alloys. Chrome is for hoopties, and the stockers are too small with too wide spokes. Black with the lip is the perfect setup.

Like Francis, your wheels are 17",
Would you post of picture of your wheels?

Naturally, I like 17s on a black SVX
