So i have been eying the wheels that came on the last GTI model. Always thought they looked good. Turns out they will fit our bolt pattern with little adjustment. I think down the road they may be a purchase as a winter set or something . Here are some colors Corey put together for me. Thanks very much Corey!

idk man theyre sharp wheels but u dont have a vw lol

[GiRaff3]

Pro:
They are 18".
Should be relatively cheap.

Con:
Anything VW is
Additional cost with wiggle bolts and the potential problems associated with that.

TAKE THAT! I +1'd him to bring equality.

[Wagon Mafia]

Looks good but everyone will instantly think "VW wheels"
I don't consider that a good thing

no one dislikes mike....hes a very cool guy, we're just voicing opinions, he's used to it from me lol i try to watch out for the NAs best interests lol

I like those wheels, but just not on your car, in that size.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

Wheels make or break how a car looks. The VW wheels don't flow with the Volvo, sadly.

theres being different and it actually working...and then theres being different in order to be different and the result being fugly...

that said, i like the polished face with the graphite inner. no gold though...

[gilber33]

I don't know. I look at it, and I think it looks good, but then I blink, and I don't like them anymore, then I look back and they look fine. Just please don't do gold whatever you do.

1. they dont look horrible
2.they dont look very good (waste of effort in my opinion, you could do better)
3. "Turns out they will fit our bolt pattern with little adjustment" - explain this statement

Additional cost with wiggle bolts and the potential problems associated with that.

i will pay you if you can find a set of wobble bolts with a 1.75 thread pitch for our cars.

[JVC]

mmmm... Huffs! Aren't they 5x112? So wobble bolts wouldn't be quite enough gap, but that might be able to be made up just like people put 5x110 on 5x108, so with wobble bolts it might work...

suprisingly i have never liked huffs very much yea they are 5x112, my wheels are 5x112 and the volvo is 5x108, as everyone knows i use stock lug bolts with no adapters but you cant say if the huffs will work the same way without trying, so i wouldnt get your hopes up until you try, you also need to take the center bore into consideration.

I love those wheels but I'm not sure I like them on the car. On the vws they work because the car is really round but I think our cars are too boxy.

agreed.

btw i like your new sig adam, but you need a wind spoiler thing for that roof rack

[303jrodt5]

They fit the VW bubbly style way more than our box style but it's up to you man.

[magicaljake]

they make your car look like a hot wheels

[Hastings]

they make your car look like a hot wheels

[--Aaron--]

Our cars are too BOXEE.
