    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.

    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.

    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!
