Just spotted this on photobucket. It's my current car in a previous life!
Not sure if I like it better with the original wheels!

original wheels look the better of the two for me

ive got a similar dilema on my v70r.
the origonal wheels, as on yours look smarter in a (posh) formal kind of way, but ive now put titans on which i think make it look meaner, somehow more menacing, but love em both.
so, in my opinon:
1st pic: posh
2nd pic: menacing

Have to say the Comets are the one's which get my vote.... Not that the Peg's are a bad wheel they just seem to be on everything these days and going back to the Comets is almost unique.

It gives me a Semi with either wheels on (sorry! I'm sure plenty of other members were thinking the same thing...)

but I think the 1st just have something special.....

Personally I preffer it with the Pegs on as I dont actually think the commets suit it in the first picture.

The car looks newer in your hands despite being older with the pegs, grille etc if you know what I mean.

I think Pegasus and titans really suit the 850, but not sure on the S70 and phase 1 v70.

The comets look great though. There was a chap that had his comets chromed on his phase 1 v70R. Can't remember who it was but they looked amazing.
