Wheels that fit the SVX - Page 30

By the way, the stock SVX wheel weighs 20 pounds,
(about 40 pounds with a stock size tire.)
and a stock Tribeca wheel weighs 29.8 pounds.
Heavier wheels and tires hurt both accelleration and braking.

I've long since given up on trying to convince people not to put wheels heavy enough for a freight train on their cars. Most seem only to care about the bling factor and the price. So I guess bling, and also bling. I guess that's what bling-bling means. Heh.

quik question would a 38mm offset stick in more then a 45mm offset ? which has a better chance of not running the fenders on a 19" wheel ?

thanks guys

Thanks for the tire fitment w/Tribecca rims. For those who think this is a bling-bling facter, isn't all rims choices a bling-bling choice. If I can get an almost new set of tires/rims for $300 that look good on a car, of course I'm going to buy them. I've been with the aftermarket rims and try finding a replacement wheel 3 years later when you've dented one in a NY pothole. Good luck. I've long ago decided that good looking OEM wheels may a better choice than expensive aftermarket. If I can sell the tires to offset the cost of a good fit replacement tires,so much the better.
