Default Just a dream...

Boredom definitely gets the best of me. Figured I would do a little photoshopping and came up with this:



BUT, $5K on wheels/tires is definitely excessive. Too bad

its obvious that he photoshopped those wheels on. They look great, but its much too expensive for him to actually buy them (>5k)

Are those adv1 rims OP?

this is more like what I was looking for... Also brembos, slotted rotors and coilovers... But yeah I'm literate for the most part but my mind reading leaves a little to be desired.

I'd also read up on Jordan Swerdloff before EVER considering buying adv.1 wheels.... I'm just sayin!

You got it man, except they are the Rennen Monolight M5. Im guessing anywhere around 900 a wheel, havent had a quote yet. Beautiful 5 spoke design, really similar to the ADV1s.

There is another close option to save money, ADV1 has a flowspec cast wheel. Niche wheels has the same exact design too, but they only come in black. Black is not my style, but Im sure you could pay a little extra and have them powder coated silver. May look into it...

You can try Forgestar CF5.

There are pix in this thread:

I'm sure they will be < $5k. I was looking at a set of f14 (flow form technology) for <$2k.

Where in Texas are you? By the look of the oak trees, I would say somewhere in central Texas.

Anyone know of a place that the wheel weights for Forgestar wheels are posted?

I owned one of those. It was a bad *** car (for a volvo), the lack of performance mods was what made me get rid of it. Actually, I totaled it in an accident but was earlier that same week looking at cars to buy.

My last car was a V70R - not quite the performance of an IS-F, but then again, there aren't too many 300 HP manual 6 speed wagons that seat 7 out there either (BTW, the spokes on R wheels are not quite as tapered)

The IS-F is like a meaner version of the S60R... ignore the AWD on the S60R. It's a niche car with performance that the ordinary person may not be able to distinguish the difference between it and the non performance model. I like being a sleeper (somewhat) LOL...

I don't know but I believe the 19x8.5 is around 21lbs and 19x10 is around 24lbs.

Dunno, I had 3 "non-performance" Volvos before the R and the difference was pretty noticeable IMO . Volvo got out of the R model in 07 and there's no signs they're bringing it back any time soon, which is a shame, since Volvo is now the only higher end "euro" (now Chinese, I guess) manufacturer not making a performance halo car.

I meant that your average person would look at a regular S60 and an S60R and not know the difference. Kind of like the IS-F.
