Heyas, I'm about to decide on some 17's for my ride..i've picked out these called "Techno Silver 17" from a site called Tempetyres in Australia. I just wondering what you guys though of them.

My car:


The rims i'm deciding on:


I was also looking around on cardomain.com ...and noticed this Volvo 850. Has very simalar wheels, which helped me visualise what it could look like on my ride.

So Please Let me know what you guys think, should i get them? or do you think they don't suit my car and that i should choose some different ones. Thanks guys.

Thanks for the replys....i'll probably have a look at some other wheels. Volvo Rims are kind of on the expensive side...so i don't think i'll be getting any of them. I"ll have a look at Moda wheels.

emax doesn't have a choice because there are no volans, pegs, canistos, or any other oem rims that are 17 and will fit a 93 850

GO AFTERMARKET!

I really like those rims. But really, the only one you need to be asking is YOU. If you like em, and they're a pretty good buy, I'd say go for em.

i think ford focus, ford contour, mercury cougar and mercury mistigue share the same bolt pattern as 93 850, so that might help you.
