new 17 inch wheels

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.

Hey Kev!

That looks really nice I think.Thats the nicest looking smoke silver 480 I have seen.....

The Marshall tyres I had on my 205 GTi,they were Pirelli pattern and gripped very well and lasted long....

17 inch aloys look superb too.I think the silver wheels on that colour body look perfect.You must be pleased with her no??

Greets!

@Kevin, nice wheels!!!!!!

Can't wait to see them in real life, no problems with the turning circle or is it a matter of changing gear reverse to front a couple of extra times?

Does look good :D

I have seen tyre fitters remove lockable wheel nuts in a few seconds and others in a few minutes. It only protects against loosers, I'm afraid :cryhard:

BTW these are probably the best 17"-ers I've seen on a 480.

Methinks me wouldn't put on larger than 16" wheels. Especially as roads are horribly bad here -- I just killed my front left Taurus in a pothole this week. :cryhard:
After all, I am keeping it original so only stock Volvo wheels work for me...
