I "LOVE" craigslist! :D

Today, I ended up picking up a set of FOUR 17" Enkei Shogun wheels, with some absolutely HUGE tires still on them, for $300.



I can't wait! I'll post pics once I get them installed, but I don't think these gigantic tires are going to fit on teh SVX. They're like 235/55/17s. HUGE!

Do they look like this?

Looks like an updated version of stock wheels, but more space aged and b.a.
I haven't seen these before, but I bet they'll look great on your ride if you can get the meat to fit.

Thats them. If I remember correctly, they arent in production anymore, and can catch a pretty penny

Craigslist for the win

What color is your SVX?



I used to see a lot of pictures from mike (those wheels on his SVX)

They're beautiful...they're even more beautiful on the SVX.

Hey man, I love craigslist too. Who else would I have to thank for a running/driving $1500 SVX?

(besides the guy I bought it from)

I managed to find a set of the same wheels for 350 w/ junk tires..Im tempted to pick them up. I know they look real sharp on the svx, but I dont know if that's the style I want...plus they are narrower than the stock wheels
I'll probly splurge and get than anyway

Anybody know what size tires should be on these things? The ones currently on these things are just HUGE.... 225 55 17s, I think. They're just gigantic.

225 45 17's should work, though if I remember right, the shoguns are narrower than the stock wheels...215 45 17's will likely fit better
