You know VTO makes the Minilite-style wheel in 16 & 17" sizes, dontcha?
ya, but now I'm not too sure if i want that 8 spoke 'style' anymore...kind of leaning towards spacers & more wheel choices instead. Like Craig said, they look good but they're sort of the defacto style for these cars. & after I saw all those american muscles at the car show yesterday with their American Racing rims I got a little turned off at 'standard' style wheels.
Then again I'll probably change my mind in a day
I was talking with
http://www.acmespeedshop.com/ (someone correct me if I'm wrong, they manufacture the VTO's now?) & they said 16" for Volvos with a +12 offset were coming soon.
http://www.spruellmotorsport.com/ quoted me around $230 a wheel for 15" Panasports (Spruell seems really nice to deal with, They were honest about the fitment of the wheels & when they couldn't accomodate my specs they said so)...a little bit more than the VTO's are going for. Minilites were the most expensive, at almost $300 a wheel.
VTO is also making 2 different 4 spoke wheels, a replica of the American Racing LeMans wheel & another called the Retro 4. The LeMans wheel isn't in our bolt pattern yet though.
