More Black Wheels (cheers Levin ;))

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.

Not my cup of the, those black taurus wheels. Maybe it does look better on a non-white 480 though.

@catgroom: those alfawheels wont fit the 480 IRL, due to the PCD they have of 4x98 ;)
Volvo 480 GT-Turbo 1995 ~ 321 current
Volvo 480 Turbo 1994 ~ 305 got totalled

I know !

I was really disappointed to find out about the 98 PCD!

I walked won my garden contemplating whether or not to walk via the shed and get the sharpest implement and stab myself in the leg with it!

Presumably a slightly off centre washer :dunno: - theoretically should be safe enough, but I don't think I would want to try it :nuts:
