Getting off my ass and finally writing a build thread for the Jaguar
I love your car. I think the Twists are my favorite on yours.
Those are my second favorite now (but things change with my wheel preferences... Obviously) Always loved those, too. All these will work on your Contour btw nearly same car.
You sir know how to rock quality shit on your car! The fitment on pretty every wheel setup you've owned is just spot on and very tasteful with the theme of the car! And as a pc whore, I'm still going nuts about your Car Pc setup, lol. You've earned my respect.
You should see my 32gb RAM, 1.2TB RAID 0 Intel SSD, Core i7 laptop.
Love the car man! am I the only one who feels like the new wheels look like theyre tire-less in the pictures, i may just be blind but it looks like the car is floating in all the picutres haha

I wish it was so easy. Yes, I can get adapters, but since camber adjustment is a no go, it seems a little more complicated, given all those wheels are relatively wide, and with the addition of an adapter, it'll put the final ET too low, or low enough to where there is some major pokage. Those Twists would look baller, though, huh? hahaha
Wait a second, did some quick research, I didn't know Twists can be had for different sizes and widths?! Holy crap! There's an 18x8 with ET 50? Or something like that? Hmmmmmm, I may just look into these now!! hahaha

Yes, I think they even do Boxster fitment in 18x7.5 and 18x8.5. Late model Porsche offsets are always mega high, that is why us VW guys jumped on them with adapters so much about 10 years ago. This time I just wanted them as wide as possible and 10" seems to be the limit on this car.
My first JDM project after decades of European cars!
I too saw this at the Leavenworth pre-meet at BCC, pics do this car no justice, absolutely gorgeous! Any other plans for it besides other future wheel choices, or is it pretty much done now?
This means a lot coming from you. You and I were the only Volvo guys doing this stuff and it finally came around.
I thought your comment about me innovating in your build thread interesting. I didn't see it as innovation - more like take a 5-year-old VAG or BMW aftermarket concept and apply to the Volvo platform... blasphemy, shocking, crazy and new there, but not everywhere. Kind of like when people find tribes near the Amazon or in Africa who have never seen civilization - showing them something new isn't too hard and not really innovating.
