Do you like my new alloys?

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

dunno dude.....i took em off my ES (black with red stripes...thats right...stripeS...there was one on the shoulder just under the window level)
i look at the black ones with the bumper stripes still in and regret it sometimes....it is dated, but part of the car....mine *seems* to be missing something now

not too keen on those alloys
don't think they suit the car that much, chunkier spokes look better on 480's imo
but each to their own
