Not my cup of tea personally, not really a fan of after market wheels.

Yeah and the colour of your wheels doesn't stand out???

Never seen them Like that before, almost Japan-esk in design.

My gay blue wheels have now annoyed sooo many people that I'm gonna keep them that colour (I've even done my Charge Air pipes the same colour too)

Wheels are a very personal choice. As long as you love them, doesn't matter if no one else does.

Agrees.....I think the alloys are very unusual. Post a close up pic of the rims plz.

Everyone on here has differing tastes when it comes to wheels :)
It doesn't mean they're the wrong wheels for you.

What matters most is that you like them, everyone has their own taste.
Anyways, they're a statement - it defines your car as yours.

CHUCK NORRIS APPROVES - and that's all that matters - RIGHT!!!

Certainly different - think the colours go well and think that they'll grow on me over time. Your vision, your choice. Nice.

I like the wheels, and I like the car, just not sure if I like those wheels on that car. At least they're not painted gay blue.:saythat:

Germarchip - you need a rear spoiler and graded tints for it all to gel.

I like a bit of individuality.

How about painting the mirrors silver to match the edge of the spokes, I think it might set it off perfectly. I also agree with the comment about graded tints.

i love them think they look cool compared to most usual wheels with the select colours
anthrite/black

I disagree. I hate them. Sorry.

Not that mad on them to be honest, but as long as you are happy with them who cares what anybody else thinks!

i reckon if the car had a suspension drop, it would enhance the wheels al ot...in a nicer way. They are a nice set of rims imo

With suspension as soft as a Volvo, it is hardly noticable. As to everyone who has an opinion on my wheels it does need to be noted that when I bought the car the alloys were completely dead. These came up for sale including brand new Avon tyres & I managed to pay less than the cost of 2 new tyres for the original shoddy wheels. So all in all the ability to drive the car without the tyres going down due to the alloy's being so damaged was quite a big plus

I think they look quite cool mate :)

Also agree that it could do with lowering a little, this will enhance them even more!

I'm with claymore on this,
