ya... bingo.

mesh wheels FTW

yeah...I was about to get something just like those...then I remembered how much of a pain it would be to clean...hellz no....my fingers killed me cleaning the stock rims...those would make me not want to wash it...

these wheels are a snap to clean...

Those wheels look like ******, that flavor rim died out on 80's bmw's

I think it would look better if a pimp came out of that car.

Wheels aren't bad but you really cheaped out on the rubber. I think a 235/40/18 would look nicer than rubber bands you have on there.

Is it a high pressure turbo C70?

I'll gladly take the 80s wheel thanks.

Doesn't fit the Volvo, especially without a drop and more ground effects. It'd probably fit on something like a lexus or infiniti.

lmao, your Volvo isn't cool enough to be referred to by its model name. I bet you go up to girls and ask if they want to chedck your "C70" - lame. More negative points for the wannabe-baller tinted windows.

If his car is an HPT, it'll outrun most everything on the road. So piss off, you're ignorant.

To the OP, you need to do it right when it comes to modding your C70:
XC Eggcrate style grill with the blue emblem
2003+ C70 Jewel headlights with HID system
19" HRE 446 wheels
KW coilovers set to their lowest point
WP Racing 6 piston calipers with 380mm rotors

That should get you the look you want. If you want to add some performance, throw in a motor by VMS, custom tuning from Europe, a bigger turbo, downpipe and exhaust, Defi Boost gauge, etc.

More details available upon request.

And if you want a picture of what $30,000 worth of mods to C70 looks like, here ya go.

those clear headlights made a world of difference. But all that for 30k and it still looks stock. I'd pass.

The wheels are pretty hot... but not on your car, sorry. They would look better on a newer Volvo or Audi.

 

[slayer202]

I don't like em. but for under a grand with tires i'm not surprised

 

[fbrdphreak]

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.

 

[Baked]

Black on black is retarded. But ground effect is even more retarded.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

i think it looks alright. i agree w/ a slight drop, and it'll look killer. A subtle..i mean very subtle fender kit will make your car look pretty cool.

 

[mugs]

My first thought when I saw the wheels is that they look like they should be on a 80s Trans Am.

:roll: Less than $4k in performance mods put my S70 T5 into the 12s (without having to tear down the engine.) :roll:

Those wheels are lame though. But for less than $1k you can't get much. Check out SSW Trex. I've seen some on various Volvos and they look decent for very little money. I prefer BBS wheels on Euro cars though. Just make sure they have the proper offset and have enough clearance for your brakes (PS get a big brake kit, biggest difference in the world.)

 

[EXman]

Ha I thought it looked like a ford escort coupe for a sec similar factory wheels

 

[Vampirrella]

needs a drop big time. Looks like an off-road jeep with it riding so high. Personally i hate the gap between the fender and the tire rubber. You see that all the time, those folks that run into Les Schwab and buy 3k wheels for thier rust-bucket shredded car worth 200 bucks.. you know who i mean...

 

[Nebor]

There are tons of options for lowering it. From just springs from IPD or EST @ less than $200, to "cup kits" from Weitec with matched shocks\struts\springs for $600 on up to fully adjustable coilovers from KW for $1400. All readily available for S70s\C70s

Could be easily mistaken for a CLK

COULD BE

 

[LtPage1]

As harsh as I can make it:

They're on the small side, and your car needs a drop, badly. And they're not as attractive as the stock wheels.

 

[ForumMaster]

nice rims man. but the color doesn't really match it. maybe something lighter? Euro Red?

 

[Shawn]

Those rims belong on a tripped out Impala.
