    New alloys

    Ok so i picked up a set of these 18" Atlantis alloys today to go on my V70

    All the wheels need repainting so i was thinking of a possible colour change

    I'm siding towards a satin black colour but i also kinda like anthracite, or maybe original silver lol

    Whats everyone's opinions ?

    The car will be lowered 30mm in the next couple of weeks also



    The car

    I've got gloss black with silver flek on mine.

    Keeping with simple black works well with the exhisting black and white theme the car already has.

    Ive followed the theme into the engine bay and interior on mine and it works really well.

    You didn'tget the car off a big lad called Dan did you?

    Bought the car in Leeds off a guy called Eric, think he was a trader just selling on as all paperwork is in different name

    And yeah i think black wheels sooo look right on white cars

    Don't forget to remove the nivomat shocks and replace them with standard ones when you lower it or the ass end will stay up where it is
