Default 90's style retro wheels
Been racking my brains for wheel ideas lately for my Volvo project, due to the boxiness of it I think a flat face wheel would work well.

I'm thinking the likes of Zenders, Comps, or something a bit rare like OZ Turbo's!

Gimme some ideas

That was a definitive 90's look. Used to see those upswept exhausts all the time, I remember being in a white cavy in about 1997 and that had venoms and that exhaust pmsl

Saw a Series 1 yesterday on Wolfrace Voodoos, still looked mint


What about an Old Skool wheel but with a modern tint eg anthracite

Hocks are definitely one for thought, I think the Borbet C's look too flimsy for the size of the car though!

Oz Polaris

Borbet spokes are chunky in the flesh... Think they would look like factory wheels on a Volvo...

To be honest Volvo's Polaris wheel looks ace on them, but they're eye watering prices!

Been offered a set of these in Volvo fitment, they're 17x9 too so should fill the arches nicely!

There were quite a few Cosworths at RS Combe on Saturday with the flat looking Rondells and Azev alloys.

I think something dished would definitely work. As the car is very slab sided, it will give it some more definition.
