rim refurb

what colors the car ?
you could always paint the centres the same colour as your bodywork , that can look quite pimp on some cars ( sorry your pictures not working )

To be fair with stock power you wont need any more than 195/50/15's, mine barely goes sideways anymore - you have to be going very fast for the momentum to carry it, otherwise itll just spin the inside up! Much more tail happy on 175 and 185 wide tyres!

True
but it depends if you want the look or the drift oo track or what ever

is it actually possible to get 175's or 185's on a 7j rim without making them look stretched/illegal?

Beautiful Zenders !! Well known rims for the VW crew ! haha, Your Volvo will looks very pimp !

A 185 in a 7 inches wheel is just straight... The stretching start a bit with 175 tyres

185's would look slightly stretched, I was referring to a previous set of wheels I had on the car though. The 195 wide bridgestone tyres I have on the front of my car do look slightly stretched. I'd go for 205 wide as an ideal for a 7" rim, but there was a significant increase in road noise and ride harshness - so 195 I'm sticking with!

well, another proof that stretch is very subjective, haha

well im not complaining about tyres as i got them for free and fitting and balancing was only £20!
