Cheers, my last car was just a normal 855 glt, it'd been rica'd,K&N'd etc... the usually stuff, sadly wrote it off one night pulling out from behind a parked car on the wrong side of the road. Someone bought it off me and apparently it's now on the road again.....somewhere...

Can I ask.....what's involved in the sided exhaust conversion?
i was looking for someone with the exhaust coming out the side skirt lol. I guess you mean my twin exit?

Powerflow made it for me, it goes thru the rear beam/suspension the same as the normal exhaust then a Y-piece splits the 2. The passenger side carries on as normal & the other side goes under the spare wheel well & out that side. I just used a Dremmel to cut the bumper the other side (think there might of been a small angle section that needed grinding as well)

That is a shame,looked like a nice car. Still you're fighting fit with the black beastie,very smart mate.

[volvoturboman]

Right probably a silly question but whats the difference in pegs a titans. Pictures up top??

[cameron]

Pegs have the R emblem on them, and are " usually " 18" where as Titans are 17".

There are some 17" Pegs going about, iirc they were an option.

[Tomcat]

Pegs are a lot squarer than Titans, they have an angled,sharp look compared to the Titans that have softer lines, also the Pegs where available in 17,18 & 19", plus they also had an "R" symbol on one of the spokes. Titans where only made in 17".

[t5_carl]

ohh, dam u all with ur pegs!!some nice rims, 5 spokes, or multi spokes seem the way forward!

[polak t5r]

what wheels you got mate and how much you willing to spend i've just brought a new car and it's got 18inch pegs on that i might be tempted to part with

[t5_carl]

ive got these ones:D
http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p276/cossiecrazycarl/DSC00144.jpg

[polak t5r]

pm'd matey

[cameron]

Those are 16" persus if im not mistaken, usually on the awd or tdi :D

[thebadger]

Pegs also came in a variant size 17" called satelites (slightly different shape, but with the R on them)

My current set is Orestes (17")

http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/picture.php?albumid=48&pictureid=1168

A touch bland, as they fitted them as standard to loads of S60 & V70 models from about 2004-2007.

Comets are where its at tho!

p.s. (my 1000th post!)

[AlanG]

Congrats Mr Badger,you are in with the wood now....:funkybana

i just see both or you cars are the same color as mine lol olive green and touquise sorry about the speeling i cant think today lol

[Filterlab]

Not an 850, but close enough. These are the 17" Propus split rim alloys made by BBS which were an option on the C70 GT:

The 19" were only availabe as replicas.

Now that IS different!!

[Jimmie]

18 inch pegs were a free optional upgrade.
Just buy quality replicas ,much cheaper.

[AndysR]

Titan's also had a lip around the edge of the wheel where as the Peg's are flush all the way to the edge of the wheel ;)

[p fandango]

no-ones mentioned Thor's yet, again not an 850 but Bonny was feeling left out lol

[walter leever]

I won't post mine you've seen enough Pegs.:banana:(and Volans by the way)

[PaulZX]

I've got 3 sets of wheels... standard columbas, 17" dotz reflex, and 17" team dynamics Jets.....

The dotz are up for sale......

[Cubes]

Pegs and Volans are a very nice wheel. I, personally, have always been a fan of Comets. In fact it was one of the things I held out for when I was looking for a C70.
I spent 2hrs cleaing the buggers this afty! Whipped 'em off, give 'em a clean, and then popped them back on. Then I started on the wheels (wa-hey!)...

[flyingbrick]

Now that IS different!!

Just what I was thinking !

I would love to think that I might get it running before the end of the year, but with every passing month I am begining to doubt it. Still clearing credit cards... I'm looking at doing the car as my reward at the end of my pain.

Anyway back to the wheels
I haven't seen many extreme wheels yet... Anyone managed to fit XC90 wheels???

sorry to hear that mate, aslong as you intend to get her fixed up it'll be good to get racing again


Anyway back to the wheels

just had a look to see some info on XC90 wheels, they've got the same 5 x 108 PCD but the offset is 40-50 while 850 wheels are 35-38mm
