Hmmm…not sure how I feel about this. What shape did it start out in?

Those rims really work with this car. I've always thought the old Volvos' block-like shape was acerbated by the dinky factory rims.

The wheels are custom and awesome too.

These 17" wheels are Peugeot 407 steel wheels, flipped and widened to 9˝" rear and 8˝" front. I purchased Falken FK452 tires for them, 235/45-17 rear and 215/45-17 front.Wheels have now specially made centric rings, not for the wheels but for the Volvo original hub caps.

I got down to pic three, and in my head I started chanting... "please dont go ghetto, please dont go ghetto..." Nope, no ghetto present. I always had a soft spot for the Bertones

I love 'em too, but the details have always bothered me.

There are some people who prefer the pre-'86 looks, but I'm not one of them. Just too jagged.

This car is a dream.
