My New Volvo 740

[leeds_182]

I'm not a fan of the wheels, they're nice wheels but they just look too small for the stature of the car

They’re 16s. I think they might need a bigger tyre but I’ll see how they look when it’s all together.

The wheels are cool but too small. I thought they were low profile tyres until I zoomed in and realized you'd need truck tyres to fill those arches. Car is ace, but original wheels for me.

I can’t run bigger than 16s on a 740.

It’s just not cricket.

Got the tyres on. Just applying some wheel sealant and then I’ll test fit on the 740.

Scene life.

What wheel sealant did you use? Just had my turinis refurbed and would like to put something on them

This stuff. From the research I did the detailing boys rated it quite highly.

Time will tell I guess.

Damn that's C4 and C5 I need now

I definitely don’t get it.

I do - I think it's great. Something SO not 2019 with all the drag-coefficients and sweeping lines of generic yawn cars these days.

Also, when was the last one you saw on the road? It's something different - something to look at. It might not be desirable in the eyes of a lot of people, but I think its cool.

Seems a good spec too!

Cheers bro. My sentiments exactly.

I see a few fairly regularly because I live in a place surrounded by old people. Doesn't make them good to look at, or cool

Any full pics? The wheels look lovely.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Definitely need some full pics. They look much better than the other ones. Big ol' car likes this needs big wheels.

Each to their own. I think your mercs s**t yet I manage not to go on your thread.

I guess that’s called manners.

I think I’ve done well not to react.

If you don’t like it, f**k off and read another thread. I don’t know why you bother coming on here to comment when you know you don’t like it.

Really? What's that all about?

 

[leeds_182]

Pimpin

 

[McGherkin]

I was ready for those to look absolutely s**t, but actually they work. Nice one.

 

[Krarl]

These wheels look better imo!

Proper 90's bitchin'-mobile!

 

[Akay]

Whats it actually like to drive out of interest?

 

[william84]

Very nice love the wheels.
what a difference they make.

always had a soft spot for these big tanks since I got a shot of my uncles 760gle auto @ 10 😂
felt amazing had to sit on one of my legs to see over the steering wheel 😂
I think that's what cemented my love of cars.

I have some scrubbing issues at the rear.

 

[bill]

Do you drive this to work? I love that a copper drives this, one arm hanging out the window’

 

[PP200t]

This is absolutely epic! Love seeing these beasts around. Would love an estate version, I remember they could have the 2 extra seats in the boot they were that big!

 

[Pep]

I'm a bit of a hater but in all fairness those wheels make a big difference.

 

[Scrooge]

I still don’t get the whole having 3 of the f*****s, especially slow non special ones.

However those wheels are 90s awesome and I f**king love them, they even suit the Volvo.

Ps. You're f**king mental.

I’ve only got two and one of those is fast!

Slow daily, fast garage queen.

 

[Clio_fool]

Those wheels look the bolloks on it. Shame it's rubbing though as it needs another 2" off the ride height imo. Airbags maybe next🤔😂.

 

[v15ben]

That looks absolutely superb, proper 90s cool.

 

[Short Norman]

Cool..

Reminds me of Denzel’s car in training day lol.

 

[cat171]

Yeah man! Much better!! The wheels look great on it! 😎

 

[charltjr]

Like the car, much prefer OE wheels, but hey I'm a boring old fart

Just glad to see another old tank being cared for and used properly.

 

[Short Norman]

Old tanks are cool. I want this old BM, but I've a feeling he wants much more than I want to pay at the moment.

I couldn't imagine paying £5k for it. I don't even like the colour (Jewish racing gold)

 

[leeds_182]

I had the e34 525i and found it really sluggish.

 

[Cookson]

Those wheels look far better than the corvette ones.
