They are et56 I think, and the car uses et20 or et25 stock. So rolled fenders and stretched tires here I come. So I would say I am leaning towards functionality, but I definitely want some form in there too.
    Have fun rolling the rear fenders. Holy mother of god does it suck. I suggest cutting.

      Really? Crap. Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely resort to whatever is easiest.

          They're a tad expensive, but you could always go with the broadway statics with the 2 inch adjustable cushions. basically an "oh shit" cushion.

              Looking forward to it! I can't wait for the day I can get a nice wheel. Before I lose the airbag, my dad is making me get a harness first. For that, I need racing seats and a harness bar -__-

              needless to say, long way off.

                Hahaha actually my dad was reluctant to get me the wheel for my birthday for that very reason! But I figured what the hell, it's a volvo. Doesn't really get much safer than that, airbag or not. I'm definitely pumped to put it on

                    Update!
                    Did indeed get the steering wheel, however I am having difficulties installing it. Not positive the momo adapter will be quite as "bolt-on" as I was hoping........
                    Also began refinishing the wheels. Getting the clearcoat off sucked s***. They are all primed and waiting for paint, but I haven't decided what I want to do to them yet .
                    Also, running out of money quickly

                                I am dying to at least test fit them in the few weeks or so. Have to wait until I go home. Unfortunately I don't have tires and can't figure out what size spacers I should buy so I get as close to flush as I can with rolled/cut fenders.

                                It definitely wasn't what I had originally planned on, but I like it a lot now. Thanks!
