on the quest for those "perfect" rims
i think i found rims that i would buy.
it's a shame these don't exist in anything other than a rendered model. just stock rims, a couple inches more in diameter. it looks so good.

Re: on the quest for those "perfect" rims
Not the larger diameter you want but I have these if you are interested:
I like them but I'm not sure I love them on the teal. You could, of course, mount your tires properly and have them spin in the normal direction.

Re: on the quest for those "perfect" rims
i have had to correct many tire places, telling them that my wheels are backwards. but i'm not interested, as i don't like the big tire look. i HATE the super thin tire look though. i really would like a pair of 17" rims, with medium tires. they just look beefy and tough, and ready to fight.

icing, you have made my day extraordinary. after a bunch of searching and using my savvy internet skillz, i found that they are 17" rims from the 1994-1996 Dodge Stealth, with subaru center caps. i know what i'll be saving up for.

Re: on the quest for those "perfect" rims
Yep. And you know they'll fit, because someone's used them on an SVX before (a 4WS, no less!). And 8.5" wide
I think that you'll have to do some modding to get the SVX centercaps to fit.

The shoguns may be a good option, too,

Re: on the quest for those "perfect" rims
i really think i will be buying these as soon as i have the means to. i think my rims are a little bent, cause i can't get the alignment perfect, and they're peeling. these are awesome. and even wider! that won't rub, will it?
edit: found center caps :] http://www.wheelsandcaps.com/w_selec...lth&type=&id=3
