Oh yeah? Not professional enough? grinning smiley
I've got to say, when I popped off the hubcaps I was surprised, the stock volvo steelies are pretty good looking.

Al- Pics

Interior is blue, electric windows.

No, screw "professional". They're too cliched. Every lowered slammed riced POS car has flat black wheels and i hate flat black and worse I hate when I'm expected to be impressed with a wheel I can't see...

Yeah? Over by me its the hoopties with the chrome dish wheels sized 19 and up, hellaflushed (yo!) on any rando pos. Over here it seems the only thing "car guys" (if you call em that) say to each other is "yo, man, that thing needs a drop and a tint"

If you'd do all that on some dirty steelies, they would make fun of ya...

I like em 'cause they are cheap. And came with the car thumbs up

I like mine because they're sexy and brooklyn girls swoon on every street corner in their goofy glasses, too short shorts, and vintage flower power blouse.

Man, I gotta say that I totally love the way you two guys bought the same car, at the same time, not knowing each other, and now are having a bunch of fun with them. More power to you!

Sweet video, Im cursing that I wasnt able to fab some sort of mount for my camera in time.

And, Top styling, straight from Torslanda! While Jimmys car might be lacking a tiny bit, I couldnt help but notice how nice the interior of my 240 was, as I was tearing it up.

Get snows and square the corners, they're more pliable and work better at the speeds and temps and GRASS that they run our Grass-o-crosses...

And yeah get hold of Jimmy and do like they did in Middle Ages simply walk up and say "Mon sewer! The gauntlet!" and don't smack him 'cross the chops (that would get a stiletto thru your ribs then as well as now) merely drop the glove at his feet---that's the proper way.

And once you've turned your back say "Send me your seconds, manure"


That's all French stuff but you guys should understand.

Good talking to ya Bob.

Yeah, Well, I think I am in the take what I can get catagory. Im looking all over (the net...) and seems everyone is bone dry. There is some on Ebay, but Im i bit leary of that...


Im not sure Jimmy is around, I'll have to harrass him elsewhere. No gloves involved, not yet anyway.

And It was good talking to you earlier as well. I've got my caliper all fired up and ready to measure, And will do so the first day im not at work all day...

So what do I do about those tires? Does anyone pay attention to a WTB thread on this damned forum?

Dude. I have risen from my drunken stupor in Philly and am on my way back up. I relieve myself upon your doorstep and place the place the gauntlet in my bidé and promptly wash my bottom.
He'll ya I'm going. I think tires are probably going to be the extent of prep I'm gonna do too. An by tires I mean my awesome $90 dunlops.
