Did you really need a 3rd thread for this?

I vote "get what you want, it's your car, not ours."

Agreed it's your car, who cares what you get, you got to drive it. You were looking at $100 dollar wheels to begin with o anything is gonna be an improvement

You know there's a poll section BTW;)????

Teutons are by far tge vest looking out of those though IMO

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.

Depends on YOUR style, and it is YOUR car, so YOU have to live with it. No matter what you put on it, you're going to get shit from one half or the other on the board, so....

My vote was pegs/titans, but that's just me.

Tritons suck. They are pretty but the outer barrel is made of a mixture of soft butter and aluminum. I bent at least 3 with a 225/40 tire. And because the centers hard as steel (cause they are steel) the outer lip shears off the side and actually rips away from the rim. Making the repair a PITA and you have to get someone who really knows what they are doing to fix it.

1552 Monoblocks drilled to 5x108, anything from Audi with redrill, Jaguar wheels over bored to 65.1mm, Ferrari wheels in 5x108, Maserati wheels in 5x108. Do something that's never been put on a Volvo before.

I'm not a fan of the 12 accepted OEM wheels to choose from, there is a brave new world out there. Be bold.

You didn't offer a "none of the above" option in your poll. That's what I vote.

There's a very broad set of options in the world of Volvo OEM wheels. Few people seem to consider going beyond the point of 2000 generally when they select because they're afraid of offset or drilling or hub centric spacers. Here's a brochure to help you think it through just through 2004. There are some amazing wheels available since then.

But if it was me and I was going to drop coin on a different set of wheels, I'd be thinking beyond Volvo - exactly like Jeremy recommends.

Do something like this...
