They (VS) wax their cars? I thought the lastest craze was to wrap them in viynl so the paint is flat. At least thats what won the IPD show.

Not Pretentious

Paint is great, sorry for disagreeing, but I like bright wheels on dark colored 850's and bright silver or high polished wheels would look great as a contrast to that Volvo paint code.
I picked a pretty circuitous route and arguably cheated slightly, but I'm going to get there

Thanks! I know what you mean though. Bright wheels on a dark 850 looks better, but I think this gives it a bit of a different flavor. Silver might look fantastic though, especially with the comets.

Thanks, Nick!
The S70 handles are fantastic. The feel of them is so much nicer than 850 handles.

your car looks real good but the colors, when you glance at 'em, look very similar. i had to look at the second photo to really tell the difference. this makes me wanna clean up my car.

dark rims look nice and low-pro for a different flavor like you said...maybe to mix it up more a white or silver lip? or strip around the edge...that would make the rims pop out and make them look a bit bigger. that and a little lower and you have a stunner i think! clean as hel1.

Looks great Serge! On of my favorite Volvo colors, glad to see you taken pics again!
Thank you thank you! It's definitely a different color. I have people asking what color it is half the time.
my yellow car lives on through yours.
front bumper, comets, carpet, etc.
Carpets not in yet! But yes, parts of j0r car live on.
i love how simple and clean your car is .. it makes mine feel inferior
Just takes some elbow grease and time to make a car look clean

Dark wheels are much nicer in person. I am trying to visualize how the car would look with silver comets and an R bumper. I know that it looks great with silver comets as-is, but trying to get the whole picture in my head.

Damn straight!

Off-color lips on wheels look good on only a few cars, in my opinion. I'm a big fan of them on the Porsche GT3 RS in green.

That indeed! Been taking me ages to get anything done. These days I simply can't concentrate on the car as much as I had wanted. Whenever I have free time, it's occupied by another project.
