My (future) new alloys...

Post by **Duvel78** » 25 Dec 2004 11:34 pm

normal VOLVO GLT alloys (what I have now, Pete also):

5 spokes VOLVO GLT alloys (what Fuse has):

non-Volvo sport alloys (unknow Volvo 360 owner):

The original late GLT alloys are pretty hideous in my opnion. The GLT wheels like Fuses' are rather nice, and do look alot better. What about Volvo 400 series alloys? The later styles are quite nice, but you can't get Anteres or Cetus (which I think foggy has)

These are rather nice:

I look again, again and again to your car and I must say that I like the Antares style...

Foggy hasn't Cetus yet (don't know the name), Cetus alloys look like that:

Rims like that also look kinda cool on 300-series.

hmm I'm not 100% on the Anteres, they're a bit round.. and would be better being 15" but I'm happy with them for the price. Think im getting the alloy names muddled up, Cetus to look good on the 300s too

That black 360 looks good with them rims, not seen that car before!

Looks like my Geocities has exceeded its data transfer and is messing the link up

Unfortunately that black 360 has been scrapped by now.

It was damaged in a crash or something and wasn't in such a condition to be repaired with a reasonable sum of money. Parts are being sold at this finnish Volvo site. It has nice door cards. Thought about buying those but they were already sold.

I did notice the red door cards in the other pic

Didn't think they'd be that cool though! Excellent work on mounting some bigger speakers, the standard door pods are a bit small

True! That's a very good idea... And one more hole is probably better to evacuate the "extra bass" produced inside the door

Really need to get round to finishing off my doors, the excuse that I was leaving the speaker enclosures boxey cos it's a Volvo is wearing off after 3 years!!!

i'd go for 5spoke glts, as long as i can have my wheel centre caps (HINT)

My rims are called 'Canis'.

Aymat....do something different...and trust me on this.....get the 'disc' GLT rims sprayed a nice dark grey (metallic). It looks cheeky as hell!

cheers

Hi everyone hope you all had good Christmases! Plenty of

I reckon the earlier GLT alloys are the best. Mine are the late ones as well gonna try to change them early next year.

My (future) new alloys...

What's the best alloy choice for my red GLT?
