  • any svo look-a-like aftermarket wheels?

    I need new tires pretty bad and I've been thinking about getting 17" wheels, but I really like the SVO look. Does anyone know of any aftermarket wheels that look similar? Or at least have that 80s feel to them?

    Ummm.....don't believe so. That would have to be a custom job. One person on the board had two of his SVO wheels fabbed for 17's in the for sale section. Or, you could always add white walls for the inexpensive way to make it appear that your wheels are larger in diameter.

      Porsche 928, but the metric spacing would be a pain.

      "Or at least have that 80s feel to them?"

      I say get whatever 17" wheel you want and then put legwarmers and blue eyeshadown on it. I'll send you an Ewok lunchbox and you're set!
      The BATFE should be a convenience store.

        Corvette wheels from late 80's early 90's would work and look very similar...a little wide though...

          That was my thought, but I don't think the bolt pattern is the same. However, I know that someone has done it, I just don't know how.

            GM pattern is the same, however you run into a problem with the long spindle length on the front...it requires that there be a large whole in the middle of the wheel...
