okay... back on topic...

doing the math:

Since I want to run 255/40R17 tires, I have to have a 8-9" wide rim. Due to fender space and offset calcs, I can't fit anything wider than 8" in there w/o lots of fender rolling... so, I need a set of 17x8" 5x114.3 wheels w/ an offset between +45 and +50, inclusive.

Here's what I've found so far that I haven't already seen on an SVX:

Ray's Team Daytona Racing 707 - Cast 1-piece
17x8+45
MSRP $280/ea

I've got no clue where I'd ever be able to buy these, but Diamond Black or Bronze would be HOT!

MB Motorsport Weapon aka A-Tech Erasor
17x8+42
Discount Tire Direct $112/ea

They're pretty close to Gram Light 57S replicas... but the offset is pushing it so I might have to roll the fenders, and they're perpetually out of stock in that size.

Rota Action (Pic is gold, I'd get bronze or something darker)
17x7.5+48
SubyDude $162.50/ea

A little narrow for 255 width tires... and I hate paying so much for Rotas!

Rota Grid
17x7.5+48
SubyDude $162.50/ea

Again, too narrow, and I can't seem to find out if they even make a 5x114.3 P.C.D.

Rota Boost
17x8+48
SubyDude $175/ea

Not my favorite looking wheel, but it's the right size and comes in bronze.

Incestious Wheel Whores of the world unite! and find me a set of wheels for the SVX... and hurry before my snow tires wear out in this heat!
