    will 17's look good no my 740?

    Due to the price difference of wheels and tyres between 17'' and 18'' im considering the smaller ones, unsure if they'll look good though

    That was my 19's mate lol, not interested in the ride , it's all about the looks lol as long as I can afford them,

    What's people's opinions on multi fit wheels?

    If it's for the look, roll the arches, get some 25mm spacers and slap 22"s on there

    Chrome 20 inch wheels with spinners Frankie!!!

    17's would win for me, much else I think would look too big
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    I thought you were the Volvo styling guru, why are you asking us? If the car is going to be purely a styling exercise, then I'd say 18's or 19's.

    why do you pick holes in everyones threads or posts? if i didn't ask there would be one less thread to talk what about putting some threads of your own up?

    they measure the same as 850 wheels except the offset is only et20 or so, so definately spacers will be needed
