I do like the Tritons, but I love Pegasus !

I thought that 18" Pegs looked slightly small on the C70 - and not worth the upgrade from the Tritons, but in 19" they will look the part.

Still, got to see if the Triton sell first !

Chris

Kumho Ku15s - already on the rims.

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.
