I've been thinking about swapping my Advanti stalker mags with another guy for his SV5000 mags and I just have a few questions about the SV5000 mags.
1. How much would the SV5000 mags be worth? he has 7" on the front wif 225 tyres with about 50% tread, and 8" on the back with recently replaced 235 tyres. The mags themselves are in average condition.
2. I'll eventually be getting the car lowered (50mm), do you's think I'll have to get a camber-kit put in, or will the tyres have enough clearance without rubbing?
3. How will the mags affect my speedo? My current mags (18") put the speedo out, the speedo shows a higher speed then what the car is actually doing?
Thanks in advance to anyone with any info at all.
they are basically factory wheels for a VQ,
you should be fine without a camber kit, i didnt need one

I forgot to add that my VQ has IRS, should I still be able to get away without a camber kit?
yes i sold my vq bout 6 months ago and i had it on super lows and never had a problem with scrubbing or uneven tyre wear so you will be fine

wanna swap for my rimsthey're genuine and in awesome condition!! and the car rolled out of the hsv factory with them (but they're 16s :P)
I might be able, depends if the other fellow is still willing to swap. Are they 7's or 8's and how are the tyres?
My front 2 mags have been guttermunched, 1 about halfway around the rim and the other 1 is pretty bad. 1 of my mates guttermunched 1 of them and has offered to paid to get it fixed. I'd have around 50-60% tread on the front and the rear tyres were replaced about 1 month ago.
I'll let you know how things go.

heh, my fronts are perfect tread and my rears have suffered from staging at the tracks, (as in nealy out of tread)
show us these other rims first,
