New wheels on my volvo, let me know what you think Options

[mmerical]

hey all,

If you read my previous post I recently purchased a 1998 volvo c70 coupe. Its saffron metallic, has the high pressure turbo, and is a 5-speed manual. I just got the new wheels and tires in and thought I would post a couple pics. They are 19 x 8" moda r6's with 245/35/zr 19 nankang ns-ii tires. Only other mods are european oem clear turn signals, springs, and a reprogrammed ecu. The car is really quick, and they only made 145 ever in this color so its kinda unique.

thanks for looking

Trust me, I know the feeling.

The chameleon celica in my sig line was the first car I ever hooked up. I remember reading all the magazines at the time(there were like 2, this was the mid-90s) and wishing what I could do. I would sit there at night and write up lists of what I wanted. It was crazy, I was completely obsessed. My freshman year of college I went to my first import shop. After a couple months I bought a universal muffler and had it welded on. Then I cut my springs(which I quickly replaced with lowering springs), then side markers, then headlight bulbs(hey, that was alot for a broke kid!). One day I was at the shop and they were busy and I actually ended up helping a customer buy some stuff since I basically knew about everything in the store. I was actually offered a job there right after that and once I started getting the hookup on parts and stuff it was all downhill. I spent ALL my money on the car. Im talking eating ramen noodles so I use my money to get my valve cover polished, lol. I did have the first working clarion autopc on the east coast though! That has to count for something. Anyways, enough babbling. Im just happy to have the means to support my habit and im sure it will only get worse.
