S40 (New) Wheels/Tyres : whats the best alloy wheel for the s40?

[El Dingo]

I've got Zaurak 17" on mine - they look good... but...
The 18" Medusa wheels are not currently available on the SE pack - if they were I would have had them - very cool.

You can get Volvo wheels much cheaper through Boston Volvo in the USA. They ship to the UK and even with shipping they are way cheaper than a UK dealer.

Medusa 18" wheels are 124 USD each plus shipping and Volvo USA currently offer a $200 rebate when you buy 4. Only issue you'll have is finding a method of cashing a USD cheque in the UK.

Boston Volvo have apparently shipped many sets of rims to the UK. They stock Medusa 18's & Atreus 18's for C30/S40/V50/C70.

I've got 17" Stylla (7 spoke) alloys on mine. Came as standard with the SE pack at the time. Without the bodykit I think they look great but if you had a bodykit the Medusa's or Medea's would look much better. I'm sticking with them as I'm too cheap to buy a new set of snow chains!

If only they did 20" versions lol;

Hi, just looking through this section. Noticed you have some nice tints on the car or looks like it has some. Could you tell me where you got it done and if they are good? These days I find it hard to tint the front windows due to some crap law.

Medusa for me.

thanks

It would appear that only the second pic has the tints you / we are after, looking at the first pic they appear standard.

They really set the car off with that grade of tint.

That pic is actually a photoshop.....however I liked the look so much I got it done;

Most stunning S40. It just looks superb with that tint. Something I would go for too. Pentagon call it smoke. Used to fit only pentagon but of late with the laws in place, fitting a tint infront of the b-pillar is going to be difficult.

cheers

That S40 looks superb!

Especially like the wheels. I'd love to get some like that but think I might receive the 'waste of money' talk from the other half!!

Just have to stick with the standard 16"...

Hi Mob,

got intouch with the guys that did the tint for you. Most likely will get it down before Christmas. Quite reasonable too. Thanks the link.

cheers
