They were made for SWA hence the great colour choice - sparkle silver outside, grey/black inside.

On the back there are the same markings as other Volvo alloys and 'Germany' as the origin so none of those dodgy Turkish wheels, lol.

Chris
Thought I'd seen those wheels before, what's the speed rating for the tyres ZR W? If not they will blow up before you catch me lol

Hi Chris.
I bet they look the naddies. I would have had 19s on my C70, but when I bought mine nearly 4 years ago, you couldn't get 19s for love nor money.
When I was looking for 18s for my 32, I saw some cheapo replica wheels that said 'Mode in Germany'!! So they do try to make em look right sometimes....
They were a Chinese effort I reckon......
In the end, I went for Genuine 18" AMG III rims and they look the nuts.
Later,
Dan.

Cheers Arbee, will let you know when I feel a change of alloys coming on !

I fancy the idea of 20" rims on the back just to fill out the arches, lmao.

i saw a silver c70 with 20" rims outside the main stealers. whoever fitted them had no idea tho as the tyres were far too narrow, the tyre was going in towards the centre of the rim a fair bit.
