what do you think about these rims

I think that these would go really good on my black SVX project. I am planning on also going with Momo seats and steering wheel.
Oh yea almost forgot the SVX is the only Subaru listed that fits

Definitely very unique. I've never seen that wheel design before. Not bad. It'll look great on a black SVX...

Seen a lot of ricers who paint those sections body color. Looks really stupid on the brighter colors.

Very ricerish. You never see this style of wheel in real motorsports (as in having the spokes be a carbon fiber piece, and hte hub and rim being alloy), so it's obviously just some riceboy dreamt up wet dream.

Blech.

I wish we could find CLEAN simple five spoke designs for the SVX that had some width to the spokes. >sigh<

17x8 with 45 mm offset will just barely clear the rear fender with 235/45-17 tires.

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

I know of at least one guy who has installed 17x8" wheels with 45 mm offset and claimed there was no rubbing, but I think he was using 225/45 tires which add a bit of clearance. You'd probably have to do the same.
