Trying to decide on new wheels. What do you guys think?

I found deals on these following wheels.

Did you really need a 3rd thread for this?

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

[binsky3333]

Be careful I get hate PM's when I get on new members hahaha

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

*triton's

Ill probably be going either volan or BBS. Its hard to find volvo 850s with BBS tritons i could barely find any on google images.

Here is my 855 with 18 inch Tritons. That wasn't too hard. .......................TIM

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.

Isnt' this just the truth...well except for me...I'll give him shit for picking any of the 3 because they are all stock wheels....lol

[Hippicus Rebuildacus]

cha cha cha buy my titans be done with it...

P.S. a picture of your car kinda sorta maybe would help too because the whole reason I'm selling the titans is because I like the silver on my car vs. anthracite. so Maybe just MAYBE... even seeing your car we could say yea your going to look like a clown or yea your going to look like a big clown

BBS tritons

[Aequitas_Veritas]

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.

Dude, let me tell you what's been said to me before. Its your own car, you choose what you want. But, some photos would help to give us an idea of what you're working with.

Rotiform TMB's or Borbet type A's.

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.

[Burn-E]

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...
