    Wheel Choice - Yes or God No :)

    Alright peeps, these are the wheels from my van and debating whether to bung on the volvo, I love them but not sure if they suit it really and would need to buy lower profile tyres to fit on, what does everyone think ?







    They are basically a modern interpretation of the old ronal turbo's and when i brought them a year ago they were the only set in the country in a 5 x 108 !

    Regards

    Brett
