Got these Falkens @ wholesale price...with Nexen 225/40/18's came to $950.

A drop and black out grill will most likely be next.....what do you think?

Sorry, I didn't understand any of that.

Are you black?

You look like another dumbass who puts stupid wheels on their nice car. Just keep the stock Volvo wheels, those usually look just fine.

Black out grill and drop? It might look okay dropped, but the black out grill I think will look stupid. Its a Volvo, nice car but not one for modding my friend.

I'm not black...but you're just another computer internet ass**** that likes to blab out crap while hiding behind your monitor. What does being black have to do with anything here???

As far as putting stupid wheels on their nice car...that's my choice and my choice only. I don't know why I even waste my time with replying to your idiotic post...you're probably just another 18 year old pimply faced punk virgin....😕

ok...back to the thread...which I thank those who have written their opinion...I appreciate it...obviously opinions are just that...opinions. I happen to like the wheels..and when the appropriate springs are installed...I think the car will look much better.

As far as those who wrote that these wheels went out of style in the 80's...they are a bit of a throwback....not crazy though....here are some other cars with the same wheels...not too shabby rides IMO...

Benz

350Z

G35 Coupe

BMW

BMW2

Benz2

Obviously...the Volvo isn't nearly as nice as these cars above...but still...I happen to like the car just a bit more since the install.

Later...

i think they're good on the G35/350z and the MB, but not the BMW. i personally would go with a few more spokes (not a mesh spoke style), but ultimately, if you like the way they look, don't let a bunch of intarweb nerds (myself included) tell you otherwise 🙂
 
Nice wheels, but I don't think they look good on the car. But, that's only because I like dark cars with dark-colored rims with a silver lip to break up the black-on-black.

They look very nice on the BMW and 350z in your examples above.

Unless your car is an LPT, it can easily be made faster than any of those cars (Including the E46 M3.) And I guarantee you the seats are more comfortable than any of those others.

Plus with a nicely done C70 (which yours is not, those wheels need to go in a BAD way. And I'm a Volvo expert) you get people always saying, "That's a VUL-VO?!"

You should PM me sometime. I have a wealth of knowledge about Volvo performance and modding.

Jeez, someone has some sand in their vagina now don't they?
The black comment has to do with the fact that I see black guys driving around town with ugly ass rims like those on their beatup old Toyota's & Lexus's. Just because its a 6 year old Volvo instead of a 10-15 year old Lexus doesn't mean it won't look like theirs 😉

I responded because you asked for opinions. Don't ask for opinions if you don't want someone's opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I like Volvo's. Mom had an S70 and aside from the somewhat underpowered NA engine, it was a very nice car. But ugly rims, blacked out grill, what's next? Undercarriage lights? You have a turbo car, congrats. Don't make it another ugly ass monstrosity like so many others do.

Actually, I thought it was observative. I observe a certain pattern in society and comment on it. It is far from ignorant, but go ahead and play the racist card :roll:
 
Looks good, but you need to drop that car at least an 1.5" front/back.

So you never see white or spanish guys doing the same thing? I know I do. You are really just trying to 'prove' racism doesn't exist right?

Some white guys, let's not get on Hispanics LOL, but majority-wise I see black people. I'm not trying to prove anything, sorry.

don't bother with this guy...it's pointless...he's looking for the attention he didn't get when he was a child so he comes on internet message boards looking for it. I wipe my a** with his comments because they really are just a cry for people to notice him....I feel really sorry for people like him...it's a really sad reality...

hopefully someday with the help of doctors he can wake up one day and become a positive contributor to society....but until then he'll continue to be a pitiful meaningless microscopic human being...someone that nobody gives a damn about...the kind of guy that dies and doesn't have a funeral because no one will come to it. Good luck brah...you'll need it.
 
Nice ride m8! I like the wheels though the photoshop job with black (not all black, find ones with a chrome rim-like the photoshop) looks much better. There is a TSW wheel that is dark grey (mesh though) with a chrome rim and I think it would look better than what you have now.
