Love it! I think it would be perfect if the wheels were a tad bigger, but it still looks awesome . Welcome to VS.

[HPTDoh]

Glad to see you're making the C30 your own

We need another Swedish meet before too long

[johnloves850's]

$90 a wheel?
I really like that design, kind of reminds me of BBS's for some reason..
Are they 16's?
I agree with Adam, a little bigger and I think you could pull them off as summer wheels

[Stormtrooper1]

Thats an awesome C30. Love the Orange wheels and your Plates!

[sacrifice]

Im diggin it, they look just like mini bbs RCs. I was looking at the c30s when shopping for a new car, i like the 2.0 bodys but now i really like the R designs. too bad there is no performance along with the R badge

[ij1889]

ah so this is where all the minnesota volvo drivers hang out, but you all seem to be across the river, i demand a meet, not this week, but maybe next week?

and i agree with sacrifice, i wish it was a true R, but it will be close when i mod it

oh, and can anyone guess where i got the license plate idea from?
