Looks like the wheels are on backwards. :\

I believe on the gray 3-tones the wheels are supposed to be "backwards" like that.

Yeah in GT 1 you could turbo charge the SVX, in GT2 they must have found out that they never came with turbos so you could only N/A tune. In both games they have 5 gear becouse selecting "Auto" over "Manual" only meens the computer shifts the manual type tranny for you. I guess they didn't care that the SVX only came with an auto.

It's a JDM color, and the wheels are like that on all of them.

So is that black, silver, dark gray... Or is it black at the bottom also?

I guess that would be kind of cool... Hmmm, maybe I'll repaint mine that way.

Yep, it's black, silver, and dark gray. I think it's pretty cool looking, too. If I had a silver SVX I'd have it painted like that.

Well, my silver needs the bottom 3rd of its body repainted as its' full of dings and scuffs... I should just do this.

How could I find out what the color/paint code is for that 3rd color?

Where did you fidn that picture? Any more pics so I get an idea what exactly is painted (I noticed not the entire bumper, but just below the line).

Thanks for this info!

By the way, I dont' understand what the backwards rims deal means... The rims are backwards on 1 side and forward on the other, at least on my SVX. All 4 wheels have the same orientation, so naturally 1 side will be backwards.

On the SVX 2 wheel turn one way, and 2 turn the other..the left side rims have a "L" near the valve stem....

Your car must not have the original wheels. They're directional rims, with two 'left' wheels, and two 'right' wheels.

About the pic, I got it from K-Staff. I imagine you found some more though.

If you just need to paint the bottom portion, I'd say go for it. It would look great!

Gary's car (MOREIBNR?) was at Reading III. His was a pearlie with the black top, and he painted the bottom black like the grey JDM in the photo. I have a picture of it somewhere. Anyone have one in their locker? I thought it looked nice. Different.

In that case, you could have any SVX sport them forward or backward...

Is it that they labelled them differently? Or just the fact that from the factory they put them backward on those specific SVX's?
