Would have to be a good one, probably a GLT estate, would have to have the same tints as my 945, would need a dog guard, and seven seats conversion, would like silver or blue, maybe leather, but Only problem is, I only have one set of Polaris wheels. Would have to see which they look best on, but I think I already know which would look best.

Its got me stumped but judging by the lip size on the wheel they are proper direct fit low offset alloys. Again tricky to say from the photo but maybe 17"??

Not a clue who the manufacturer is though

Trawled through my 200 pictures to find some more interesting wheels for your guys viewing pleasure...

262 white Japanese - sporting a set of chrome wire rims...

262 silver US - very bad example of 3-spokes if you ask me.

245 yellow US - wearing a lovely set of muscle-looking 3 spokes in chrome. I really like!

245 blue Japanese - gold Minilites - I'm sick of looking at Minilites but the fact they are gold really work with the car...

245 yellow European - early 700 Nova rims -- quite suited to the 200s I think.

245 silver Australian - looks like a set of BBS or similar? Perhaps 'Multi-X' Volvo rims?

245 blue stretch - No idea but I don't like them!

244 silver Australian - similar to ATS Classic alloys - they'd look amazing in black with polished edges as like the actual ATS rim I've edited in...

Now this is what I want to get, nice colour but would like roof bars as well. When did Volvo go from chrome to black roof bars. See I would like the newer body style, with the chrome roof bars, like the ones in pic four.

Found a pic of the exact colour I want, with the wheels, and even looks like it has tints too.
