greg1647545532 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 http://steronz.com/random/svo_wheels.jpg Excuse the crude 'chop. Thoughts? They are 16x7 and the right bolt pattern. I believe the offset will work -- it'll push the wheels out about 10mm from stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 aren't the factory wheels 17s? Don't think it will look right with the fatter tires. Find some rx-8 18s for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Stockers are 17s. I usually like the look of fatter rubber, but I've been keeping an eye out for a set of 40th anniversary RX-8 18s. Those are the only RX-8 wheels I like, and they don't come up very often and they're usually not cheap. Also, tires for the SVO wheels will be much cheaper than for the RX-8 wheels. That makes me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwashmycar Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 i dont think itll look that great in person... since your going smaller and still narrow. And is it really going to look THAT much lowered? Im guessing not? id hold out for rx8s. they do remind me of the Porsche 7 slots though, with obviously more slots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Makes it look much less "sporty" to me. Neat idea, but I think you are making it look more boring than it already is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg1647545532 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hmm, you guys may be right. I checked out the Porsche 7 slots, and on an older VW they really fill up the wheel well with a lot of polished metal. That's on a car that came with 14s going to a 16. Since I'm downsizing it might just get swallowed up. Now every time I look at the picture I see a Pontiac TranSport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 No offense, but there isn't a set of wheels in the world that will make that car look halfway decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 http://steronz.com/random/tls_wheels.jpg OK, SVO wheel idea has been scrapped -- how about TL-S wheels? 17x8, readily available, and not too expensive.
