Re: Kai, get these HRE wheels! (volvos70turbo)

LoL!~! You read my mind. But nah..540 is a bit too expensive. Did you see my post on VS or something. http://********************/smile/emwink.gif Okay, the Volk III is for sale now. Anyone interested, let me know. Willing to sell close to half of what I paid for. Almost good as new, can barely see the ripples I got fixed on two wheels.

446s are ordered. Should be in before you know it. http://********************/smile/emsmile.gif

Yeah, I saw your post on volvospeed. Congrats on the 446's, they are very nice as well. What type of finish did you get on the inner wheel portion? Anyways, I can't wait to see your car with the new wheels and coilover kit! By the way, how many people have signed up for the group buy?

Not exactly....very different style actually. Unless you are talking other ones., but no, the 446 is a bit more like Model 6 that Advan is offering but with rivets, polished, and forged. http://********************/smile/emlove.gif http://********************/smile/emwink.gif

Getting the center section just plain old high polish look with clear coat. And high polish w/o clear coat on the outter lip.

Right now...I don't remember exactly, I'll have to ask Carlos, but few more people wouldn't hurt. Even if the group buy is not going to go through, I'll still get them regardless. Just a bit disappointed how many people were all talk and no action. When we were talking about the kit back then, you'd hear how all these people want to get them if the kit is offered. Now........ http://********************/smile/emdgust.gif http://********************/smile/emcrook.gif No comment......

Yeah that sucks. Oh well, at least you guys who do get the coilover kit will be pioneers. I mean, I've seen many volvo's in the states with exhaust, chip, lowered suspensions, and rims, but a fully adjustable coilover kit.....that's BADASS!!!

I meant the ones that volvos70turbo showed. I've always liked the Model 6 design but now it's even prettier with rivets. I love rivets. I like these rims:

but they don't have it in our bold pattern. Maybe they can custom drill one.

I don't know...that looks awefully similar to the Momo one. After the AVS spilt 5 spokes, I kinda lost interest in that design in general....a bit too common. It's cool regardless...goes well w/ C70's style I think.
Hey!! Those are my wheels!! Well, actually I will change wheels once my tires are done due to the fact that they are not real AVS model 5 and they are heavy. Only reason I got them was because they came with S03s at a very attractive price.

Holy cow, u didn't tell me. I thought you had the real deal. Regardless, though...wheels are wheels, they are always going to have the replicas that look just as good. So no biggy. I just don't know what would look good on my car anymore.

Those wheels do look great in those pics, but we have to be aware that with the wheel offset that Volvo uses (and Subaru for that matter), we will not achieve that deep-dish look like the Skylines in the pics. But either way, those HREs are awesome.

Re: Kai, get these HRE wheels! (Terence)

Yeah I did make a note of that when I ordered them on Wed., I ask them to do their best to make it as deep dish as possible. Not sure what they can do about it, but we'll find out soon enough. http://********************/smile/emwink.gif

I should have the wheels on when you come down to MD.

They should still have big lips because of the width. I know that VW's that normally use an offset around 35mm are able to run very deep dish 16x8 and 16x9 wheels with just rolled fender lips, but narrow (205/215) tires.
