Shiny New Wheels!!!!!

[Straker]

Guys finally got some 17" fitted over the weekend. Have also got rid of the roof bars and generally given her a good clean. Let me know your thoughts and cheers to TDS for the rims :B_blite:

[Andrew]

There going to be a bugger to clean ... but do look pretty :)

[Straker]

Indeed they are but I'm so proud. All I need to do now is put the correct size tyres on it and then set about lowering it. THe madness begins! :dunce:

Looking good matey, the expense never stops tho lol...

[Al115]

You want to be more careful with your parking mate, either that or strengthen that towbar up... you've knocked a bollard down there.

Oh that's a true statement - just look at my todo list and that's just the stuff I could think of in 5 minutes :)

I though about 225/40/17 but apparantly it's not a standard size so will have to drop down to a 35 profile. That basically gives me the same diameter as the original wheels. I have a slight problem with grazing the wheel arch liner (despite lots of cutting away) because I have gone up from a 205 to a 225 width. Loads more grip though :)

Andy roof bars have already gone, Audi mad mike had them a couple of months back.

Ali don't confuse may parking with your lol!

Just found this in the gallery. Someone has been and done it before!

Who's motor is this, looks good.

Thats Vince's car, it looks absolutely gorgeous with the painted bits....

[Andrew]

Got a very classical look - you can tell it's been very well looked after.

Volvo do a lock stop mod for vehicles not originally fitted with 17" rims, will dig it out if you think it would help.

They look sweet on urs. Miles nicer than on my S60

The only reason i've changed mine is every bog standard S60 round ere have them on

I thought the original wheels looked best on the T5!

But your new wheels look GREAT..

Looks like you've had a respray or is that the sun?

Cheers mike, just the sun and a good old fashioned clean. Am well happy with the result ;-)

Engineer yes please if you can dig out the rack limiters. I went down to the local garage and asked for them but just got the standare plastic inserts that are riverted onto the a-arms. The car already has those so I think I've been had! Any info on rack limiters/stops greatfully recieved.

Cheers
