That looks like McGyver's car. I am not positive though. Where did you find the picture?

[odepaj]

motorsports warehouse, it was in the "customers cars" part. Those are deffinetly the first set of 5-spokes (other than stock) that I like.

I think they're called MIM wheels or something, try googling. They do look really nice.

I don't know if they're the same, probably not, but they look dangerously similar to the 5spoke rx7 wheels I have:

They are deffinetly not the RX7 rims. I hope I found out what they are I may just have to re-paint the Pearly to a Claret.

Yep that's my car, circa 2002 or so.

Wow looking at that clean look makes me miss them!

Those were 17" with a nearly perfect offset and weighed slightly less than the stock rims. They also had SVX logo center caps.

Trying hard to remember the brand and model - I belive Moda was the brand, but that's all I can remember off the top of my head. Will try to look more info up, but I got them from Motorsport Warehouse (hence how you found the pic), which usually means no paperwork comes with them.

I sold these to another SVX owner who had them on for about 6 months before he totalled the car and ruined 3 out of the 4 rims. A buddy of mine also has these on his SVX, but bought them around the same time as me so no idea if these are still made.

Here's the 18's I have now, still a clean 5 spoke look, but a thicker spoke and polished. HP Racing - Storm. I actually had no idea what they were until I saw that Dayle has them on the MSW site. But they fit!

Those look to be very much the same, although MIM was definitely not the brand on mine. Possible they are sold under different brands though, I mean that picture seems spot on. Would definitely make sure the offset is the same as mine were since the brand is different. You just never know.

Also, the Modas I had were hub-centric rims (like the stock SVX rims), which included the correct size ring inserts for the SVX hub.

Those 18's look really nice! I love thick 5 spokes on the SVX.

Im not a big fan of 18's on our cars, but I do like the Murano wheels!

I bet yours doesn't have those ultra sweet looking smoked yellow headlights like mine has.

I thought this was a "what rims are these" thread, not a "hey post random pictures of your car" one
