Socal Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I think there is a fine line with chrome. Cross it, and you go from bold to trash real fast. One thing about those wheels. I do believe they are for the XC90, so the hub bore is slightly larger. You'll probably want to get some hub rings to fit em to the hub.Chrome plate holders, the accents make it work. :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I'm against it but I'm not into the "bling" factor of cars either. If you ask me about chrome 18's on a Honda, my first response is "why?". I also believe that no Volvo should have chrome. I don't believe it's a trash value, I just don't think people should be rolling on mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T5BRICK Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 chrome can be ok, but i don't like the way those wheels look.i seen a silver S70 with chrome perfos around here somewhere. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT2 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I think it would work, if, you also get that grill and paint the mesh satin black but leave the outer trim chrome.Also shoe dye black all the plastic molding and bumper covers, and get a polish on that go-go! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonT5-R Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 if you want chrome wheels buy a mustang or something boy-ricerish....Yeah, don't put chrome wheels on a Volvo or something soccer-momish! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Über855R Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Umm... yours isn't that bad but she doesn't have a clean "new" V70. Umm... whats wrong with chroming out an old 850?I say do it! If those are the wheels you like get em and laugh at all the other people that have all the same rims on their cars. If someone doesn't like em fine, if they talk isht they are a HATER!!! Have fun upgrading out your old 850, I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun upgrading out your old 850, I am.But you've painted the trim to match the body, with black jewel headlights and darkass tint. The untrained eye doesn't even know it's a Volvo, which is probably what you're going for.I've said it once, other people have said it, and I'll say it again. Volvo and chrome don't match. It can be done, but very carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
