What size, and if you don't mind me asking how much dude? I need some steelies at some point, I'm starting to think motorsport on Volvo's rarest wheels is less than a great idea :oops: :lol:

13 x either 5.5 or 6, can't remember. I'll check when I get home chris.
Under a ton with new rubber all round (still sporting the bobble bits) and given the super minimal use, ballanced, I'm quite happy with that.

Wait here for six months man. I'll be sick of them and you can have them for rally fun.

The life of a wheelwhore dictates that what is bought, must eventually be sold. :wink:

Balls. I didn't think it'd been done yet. That was my plan. Black rims, flyeye headlight and rear cluster tints, rebadge, window tints.

Too Deredrum.

Suppose I'll have the SECOND murdered out 360 then.

From my preference perspective at that pic's car there is too much wheel and too little rubber, also arches are not matching up with wheels at all, but I guess that is one direction of styling fashion, however for me it does not very nice.

VND seem to have quite nice combo, now go and get one 340/360 to install those :D

If it doesn't look like a rollerskate I'll think it's pretty cool... :D

The modified remark was just a joke, I'm all for it... but putting 165 wide tyres onto 13x8" (ish?) wheels with a sub 20 offset just doesn't look right on a 300. Maybe a mini...
