The most CHAV thing I can see here is the front bumper on that nasty red thing ;) :lol:

Sorry for bumping...but those Wolfrace alloys are on every Saxorsa or Corsaxo around here that's been crashed through Halfords.

I would have thought deep dish five spokes would suit most 480s; although on my car (Paris blue) I get the impression that nothing would suit except what's on it already.

And yes, I wouldn't worry, the owner of the red car behind that is definitely in a whole lotta more "chavvin" it trouble than the Volvo is.

Hopefully for 2009 - 1.7 Turbo.

They dont look bad! However if you painted them black and lowered the car a couple of mm would make it look cool as mate!
