    Default Thinking about new wheels?

    Which ones color matched or polished? Keep in mind the polished ones are lighter. But both are lighter stock.

    what's the actual difference in weight b/w the black ones and the polished ones? IMO the black ones will better on the volvho....and if you ever tint ur tailights you'll have a nice black on black on black on black theme.....

    The black ones are almost a pound and a half heavier. And yes as soon as i get some time the tail and headlights will be tinted. Here's a pic of what the head lights look like. And here is kinda what the tail's will look like.

    The ones on the red v70r would look good on yours imo, if you could find a version with a lip and then have the center black.

    you can get HRE's any way you want them any size color and offset, thats why they are as expensive as they are.

    I'd say that and find a shrinking machine, and shrink your wheels an inch. Then you'll be fine.

    I really like the black ones. But the wheels basically look the same except for color, you could just get the chrome ones (which you said are lighter) and get them painted. Then you can have the best of both
