Cheers Carl, I still like seeing them everytime I look at the car, one item can make a car look very different.

990, they did do a similar wheel that I've seen on 7 and 9 series, it's got a deeper outside rim, but looks identical in the centre.

Yeah, they've been on less than a week and with all the muck about they look a bit dirty, but at least it's consistent! Cleaning isn't the easiest thing, but I don't mind, the benefits out weigh the problems.

Very nice rims Pete, they look very subtle but unique at the same time.

I too was considering cross-spokes but can only find them in 15inch (BBS BMW E30 rims etc).


Cheers,

Al

Cheers Al, they do so much for the car, for a while when it was parked up I had the stock 14" GLT rims on one side, as I couldn't get to them to swap them and the Vesas on the other side, and the difference was immense whe you looked at it. I've not seen many other cross spoke designs, and the BBS were quite expensive too! They are subtle though, and with a Volvo centre cap they don't get too much unwanted attention. Like the 16" rims on your car though, they looked good mate. The nice thing is, there are soooo many rims to choose from we can all be unique. I like the look of Ali's sprayed 400 polux rims as well.

Over the festive period I finally had some time, in the daylight to fit my snowcap, thanks to Ari for supplying three more of us UK members with snowcaps recently! So, some pics I took of the snowcap and a V3M sticker in one of my cars.

Well how pot lucky was that! Woke up this morning, a small stack of snow on the snowcap! Looks the business, seems practical, and it's also pretty subtle.
