    Wheel picture request

    Considering a set of 17s for the missus T5 to use her current wheels for winter tyres.

    She has already told me she doesn't like Comets (?) the only others I like are Titans and Volans. Does anyone have a picture of a V70 on these 850 wheels, or is anyone able to photoshop some onto the following pic?

    those are V70 wheels, Perfo's off S/V70 T-5's. Only Police spec 850's had them to fit over the 302 brakes. Also they are 16"

    It has 302s and Perfos at the moment which means my set of snow tryes wont fit. Anyway had a bash using Phils wheels, not so sure now, unless I painted them silver or beige?

    Beige...are you drunk???

    I once saw a set of CHROMED Volan on Ebay... Now that is pimping. I would go completely mad and go for gold (Lotus style ?) or not and stay silver.

    It is true that the Marquis de Sade was a mere amateur compared to that which is to be seen during orgiastic festivities at Flatout Mansions...

    When I say beige I mean like champagne gold, like the Jag XKR Detroit wheel;



    I asked the paint code once and was told it's Toyota beige! Have always wanted a car with gold wheels since seeing the Miura on the Italian Job a a kid:

    Volan's on a 70 series don't look right imho. Try the Titan's or ever popular Pegs...
