Thanked 2,222 Times in 1,791 PostsIf I remember that cars owned by Exexpat or something similar on Volvospeed, he's really into BIG wheels, hence the merc wheels!, it was a really nice car, until he sold it.

Thanked 2,582 Times in 2,051 PostsWhy leave the Merc wheel centres in? Merc lettering? Merc grille? Just makes no sense, if he wanted that stuff then why not buy a Merc. Does he think that people don't know what a merc grille and emblem look like?
Its just like a chav putting 'turbo' or 'type R' on their crappy Saxo.
Apart from that, I kinda like the wheels.1996 Olive Green 850 AWD - Follow the Project - Forged rods, 19T, big blue injectors, 960 TB, 3.25" MAF, Ostrich, 608 binary, arduino data display, active exhaust control with Focus RS tips, 320mm front brake conversion.
1996 Nautic Blue 850 AWD - Failed its MOT, now it's a donor for the green thing.
2004 Sapphire Black S60 D5 - The new daily hack.
