The other alloys

Post by **SteveP** » 12 Jan 2005 12:14 pm

hmm... I've not seen them before, I'd also imagine non-original Volvo.

Don't think they're Peugeots - they're wheels are usually 4x108PCD from memory. 205GTi wheels look different, holes are smaller

not alloys (i think) but wtf! how did none of us notice them..!

Don't think they ever made them.. like the GLT steel type. Only ever seen them in that picture anyway...

glt steel type?

They look like the 88-89 ish steelies that most 340's had, but the centre cap seems bigger... a prototype for same era 360's maybe?

Welcome to the forum!

The bad news is that the clears and the lowering on that car is a photoshop

However, it shows that it'd look sweet, even if due to the angle it doesn't look as low as it actually is

cheers

thanks

Nate

Afraid so... but it damn well shows the potential of the 300 series.. that car doesn't even have colour coded bumpers, which I reckon look better!

Good to have more members enthusiastic about the 300 series, good luck in your search for your car!

thanks

, im hoping to put a set of fairly reasonable sized rims on it and a suspension coilover kit with springs included (if there is a kit out that exists

) then it will show the 300's isnt just a breed of rust buckets dying out.

thanks

17s will fit while retaining the stock tyre size...and it's been done. I run 15s, and I'd probably run 16s if I could get Volvo rims in that size.

Lowering kits are a problem...the rear suspension design is such that you can't lower it properly easily, and there certainly aren't "kits" available. Various people have done it though, so its possible - just as with all the performance parts for these cars, you won't find them listed in the back of Max Power!

cheers

hope your not thinking me as a chav by saying max power

, i just like cars lower gets rid of the gap between the arches, but i was mostly wanting to go with performance on suspension by means of fairly hard springs & strut braces, i just want to minimize roll in the car when entering a corner as i would like to get this car properly sideways sometimes

.

thanks
