well you've done an excellent job with the car so far and changing wheels is the easiest way to refresh your love for your car. it's also the easiest thing to mess up but also the easiest thing to fix.

however, to take a lot of guess work out of your decision, you only need minor photoshop skills to superimpose different wheels onto your car. there are plenty of tutorials on youtube if you don't know how to do it already.

i've done this to several cars for friends and it really helps in the decision making process.

Say man that Volvo Amazons lookin really smart, Iv'e already read your article on the home page and its a true credit to all that hard work man

Quick question I am really new on here so how do you post pictures e.g. on a build thread allowing the image to show up and not show a link (line of text and numbers)

Cheers!

Thanks!

You need a site that can host your photos. I use Photobucket. So basically you will upload your photos to whatever site you end up using for that. Then you get the link to the photos you uploaded. Copy the link. There is a little icon in the post box that looks like a mountain with yellow background. Thats where you can paste the link you get from your photo hosting site.

While I won't tell you why I've been looking I can share what I've been looking for to fit that car

Personally I think your build is spot on at this point, and changing wheels out of boredom can open other can of worms, especially because everyone has an opinion on aftermarket wheels. It is hard to argue that the Steelies that are on the car isn't stylish, and the wrong aftermarket wheel can actually take away from the car overall, especially when you take into account that people tend to comment or point out the styling deficiencies of the aftermarket wheels.

I completely agree with that. I asked about the wheel options here just to see if there is anything I havent thought of. It may just mean that I have to take my admiration for wheels to another project down the road.

You might be right. I really love the look now, mostly just thinking about a way to change things up and possibly improve on what's there. It's tricky with these cars though, especially since it already has an established direction with what I've done to it.

I honestly don't think that you are going get much better Class wise than the wheels that are on the car now..

I could see either basketweaves or the chrome Salt Flats looking amazing! Sorry to not provide input either way... :P

I'm really thinking about the basket weaves, but they have to be the right ones. Want to aim for the classy but not too sporty look.
