There was a time when 18" factory BBS was the holy grail...

Not anymore - I tried this out to achieve moar low. But as much as this statement would hurt the Volvo crew I spent much of my last 5 years with... factory BBS=FAIL




18x7.5 ET59 - They would need 50mm+ spacers to look halfway decent. But they won't be on long enough to find that out.

You need to own Volvo to understand.

[Demmett_]

enlighten on the title please?

[exexpat]

I don't understand the thread title.

I came from a VAG and Volvo background, so it was always about finding the BBS offering that the factory designers chose on the same generation or newer cars from that marque. These are the BBS chosen by Jaguar for this car and many people for some reason really, really covet them.

What wheels are next?

[Dr.AK]

Do not want.

Thought I would give them a proper couple of pics before retiring them and bringing back the Posche winter setup.






The biggest lesson I have learned from this forum is that beauty is actually in the eye of the camera man. Regardless of that though, these wheels suck.

[nykwhy2]

oem+ ?

whats next for you ?

[Jamil]

lol they look better in the second set of pics, but your other wheels >

[exexpat]

These are calling me from the 2009 XF - I have a line on a set for a good price:



They are still 18s, but an inch wider and 10mm lower offset (so they will stick outward nearly an inch compared to the ones I have on there now).

[zer0]

I like what you have on there now..

[exexpat]

Yay or nay?

2008. Only in the last two years have they started to like stance stuff and anything that resembles a Subaru mod done to a Volvo.
