Why not to fit 17's to your 300

Not sure whether or not it's sprung mass...too much silicon can have a really bad effect on "spring rate".

I'm guessing that makes a bra a damper

Also bra is not designed typically to function such way and it causes more stress to structure, possibly making them very sensitive for damage. There is also considerably more strain to back and that will result pains and old grandma curved back in younger age, those are not even pretty to look at and just go worse while de-pressurization progress together with back bending more and more towards old grandma looks, eventually walking with stick at age of 50 or something.

Lol, why do I have images of a tyre valve where the scar would normally be

That's the only thing I don't think it'd pull off too well... its far too 'rat look', if you're putting money into it - you don't want it to look like that

But erm... enough dish!?

Mate, its a cheapo Volvo 300, what do you think will look good, Candy Red? Some expensive House of Color paint?

And yeah, you get tons of dish when you got 10inch wide wheels with negative 32 offset.

Dont really agree that satin/matt paint is rat look TBH anyhow...

^^ Someone has made rat look Bentley with too big wheels? Nah, don't look good at all to my eye, but my eye is picky one, you don't please it with cheap

I'm splitted personality

I mean different cheap, well maybe easy should be word used in here

hmm, so many words to choose from, need to start chopping them out, maybe I just try to forget half of Finnish words so there could possible fit more English ones to my memory

That looks Shweeet

You dug your self into that one Jani

I think you mean, you like saving money, and doing simple things, but don't like bodges, and doing things badly to save money.

A shiny black would look great, as for a matt, well, I'd have to see it really. It looks great on some cars and not so on others. I Certainly think it'd look better on a Mk 2 than a Mk 3 though

Candy red or green would be sweet, but personally I like the colour it is now

Well whatever you do with it it's your choice, and especially seeing as how some other people would have crushed it due to the rust, do what you like! I'm looking forward for updates

Sleeper style is almost only I prefer so that colour is not matching too well, however I know one car where that colour fits well
