Are you aware of the pricing on those wheels? They're gorgeous, I'd love to own a set but the price tag kills me.
I had a friend that wanted to get them in 17x9 17x10 Evo 7 fitment... they wanted like $4200. Totally custom built and beautiful. I'd love to see them on a new Volvo with the right suspension setup, but they're pretty expensive, just incase you didn't know.

Too expensive, not DOT Certified, kind of overplayed.
I would either stick with your Volutions (they're rare, not many people have them) or go for something else.

People (like me) will laugh at you for saying you have a new S60 "Level 1". There is no such thing.

I love how the site says "born at the paddock of Suzuka, muselene straight, getting sideways at D1" and all the pics are clearly cars that never see any track duty....lol

If you plan to drop that kind of money go with something from HRE, much better looking wheels imo.

Never ask for approval before doing something to YOUR car. 9.75 people out of 10 would have told me to paint my wheels anything other than black had I asked before just doing it. In my opinion, just do it first and welcome the C&Cs later.

Agreed. If you have the cash for this, do it if you like these wheels. Posting a pic of a wheel off a car=it's hella easy for everybody to hate on it, not to say I don't disagree, but I do think thes could look hot as fawk on a new s60

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.

For the same price he can get the Forgestars from VIVA which look similar. I'd take those in a heartbeat before Rotiforms go anywhere near my car.

Cheapest set of those wheels would be $2,800 ... I'm guessing 18's or 19's would be at least $5,000 ... For a wheel style that is all over the place in every single automotive group around short of offroaders ... Go for it ... ... ...

I'd say go for it !
Allways loved SJC ,and they are not as played out as BLQ or NUE. Plus in our little Volvo world nobody have Rotiforms, unlike mentioned Forgestars.
Of course you can buy some nice used wheels for much less, but then you have to redrill, refinish or rebuild. And with biult to order Rotis -just slap them on and enjoy
