Those rims would look nice with some 235/40-17" Yoko's on them. They shouldn't rub (except maybe on the inside with that offset)

Those BBS wheels

Hi there,

I personally think that those are the very nicest wheel that you can buy. That is in addition to the Mustang Cobra R five spoker that also fits our car.

On the BBS wheel, a couple of thoughts:
First: I bought the TWR Hockenheim R wheel for my first SVX and it was very similar and fit fine at a 17x8.0.

Recently I bought a set of American Racing wheels which are visually identical to the BBS and fitted them to one of my Mitsu VR4 cars: they are 18x8.5 and the sure cost was 325 for the set of 4 on eBay.

That said, the BBS wheel at $500+ plus a tire $200+ is a ton of money for what you get... My svx as beautiful as it is is worth less than those wheels and tires.

Incidently I put the VR4 wheels and tires 17 x 8.5 on my SVX and they work great

I've known about the VR-4 wheels working on an SVX but Cobra "R" five spokes fit our car? Wow! That's interesting. What size are they? 17x8?
