Seeing a lot of Thors around recently, 3 sets spotted on v70's over the weekend BTW. I like them just fine, probably because I found an almost mint set on CL for $150...kosher deal too I believe.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have been looking forward to changing my minivan in Volvo clothing back into a stiff, aggressive handling wagon again
Matt, the exhaust manifold is an amazing upgrade and has an awesome end result in HP and Torque gains.
As for the old rims I never really was a huge fan. I always like the Thors and have had them on my wagons before.

Car rides great!!! I'm back to taking the jug handles at 70 MPH. Left a nice drifting tread mark from inside lane to the outside lane coming around the jug handles. When I shift the car doesn't shine on the pavement 6 inches in front of me, then up to the tree tops.
