    Cool Twists - My new wheels :)

    Finally got my new wheels on this afternoon, well happy with them

    They are 4x 18 x 8J Porsche Turbo Twist IIs, off a late 90s 911 996, all 50ET.
    Tyres are 4x Vredestein Ultrac 215/35/18
    20mm spacers all around made by Superforma.co.uk

    I'm happy, no vibrations or wobbles etc, just don't kerb them Dave, for the love of all things holy, DON'T KERB THEM!

    Have a good Christmas everyone

    WOW! They look the shizzle mate. I saw them on a foreign S70R once and thought they looked amazing. You just need to go a tiny bit lower at the back IMO and it will be perfect. My new fave wheel combo for the V70.
    Grey 855R Manual. Totally standard.

    na its best to have slightly higher at the back as it squats level then under accelaration

    BTW those look amazing really suit the car
