Re: what do you think of those wheels ?
Since you asked for opinions I've got to say that I don't care for them. I also believe that 18" wheels are too big for the SVX.

Only if you get tires that are too big.... I love my 18"s

Re: what do you think of those wheels ?
I think they draw too much attention to them and away from the car.

Not to my liking. They look cheap IMO.

Re: what do you think of those wheels ?
I agree with Earl, to strong a statement and distracts from the car.

Re: what do you think of those wheels ?
I think the 7 spokes are definitely the aftermarket rims for the SVX, just not those you have in the pic. The best I have seen are similar to Mike621's so far.

Re: what do you think of those wheels ?
Personally, the first ones are a bit much... but if you like the dark/bright theme, for an ebony Legacy...
I kind of like these Ace Radium wheels: Otherwise, I like the BBS CO wheel:

Re: what do you think of those wheels ?
I like them! They would look great in my opinion. Some wheels (like stock or other 16" wheels) draw 'too-much' attention to the car. It'd be like wearing dirty, brown looking sneaks with a nice suit. If the suit stands out, I'd want to bring out the shoes enough to 'compete' or 'compliment' (Depending on how you see it) with the suit.
Also, can you please post the name of the wheels you wish to replace? Name, size, offset, etc! I just want to look around the net to see what I can find on them (even if you have and they are not being made anymore). Thanks!
