I've got the 18" BBS Tritons as well (which need a refurb) - hence why I have these on at the minute (18" TSW Legends):

I thought about getting the pegs but everybody and their dog has them and i wanted to be different! lol! :)

18" Nebulas look nice, but i think it depends on the colour of the car ;)

I like the 17" Comets aswell. LOVELY looking alloy IMO.

Imo, Volvos only really look good with Volvo alloys, probably why so many guys go for the pegs.Liddo's looks lovely to with the Volvo nebulas.I think 99.9% of aftermarket alloys i've seen on Volvos look crap. To be honest the only c70's i've seen with nice aftermarket wheels has been the forum members Wobbly Dave and Dacs volvo.

attached picture showing why i love the pegs on the c70

everyone and their dog has Pegs (although they do look good).. Tritons are one of the best alloys for the Volvo's IMHO (mine just need a refurb! lol!) - if if was going to spend a crazy amount of money on alloys i'd get the VST Monoblocks (I almost bought Scott from iPD's from him - but shipping was $$$$):

Nice eh? LOL!! No I'm stockists though... Either IPD from the US or VST direct from Japan... And they're not cheap either! Lol!

Hi Liddo,

What size tyres are you running on your Nebs? I've got some on my 98 V70 running 225/35/18 and find that they still sometimes touch at the front on lock. Also had to put 5mm spacers on the rear so they did not catch the inner arch (particularly the threads for the plastic liner to attach onto). Or is it that the C70 has a more accomodating arch??

Cheers

Stu.

Try fitting a set of C70 bump stops (they are blue).

It reminds me of a Blackcurrent and Liqorice sweet :D Looks lovely though, with EITHER wheels mate ;)

Getting my Custom Exhaust fitted on the 30th, so I should keep up with you in the sound stakes ;)

This site is good for how things look...although, I don't think you can mix models and wheels?

Select your model from 'Vilj bilmodell har', and click on the wheels below. Hover your cursor over the wheel for name and size.....

I think some of the wheel labeling is wrong, but its a good little site to check what your car can look like, EXCEPT they got the C70 as a cabriolet :mad: divvys!
