Dream wheels. Dream size. No money.

Sigh.

Indeed, those would suit the 780 perfectly.
I'm curious what kind of car those wheels were originally from. He doesn't say in the ad. Having the 8" width just adds to the madness. I really would like a gold centre on mine, but if I bought them, having them taken apart and powdered would likely be a travesty.

There will be other sets and with gold centres - hold out for the set you want.

Possible. The only thing the ad says is the centre bore was taken out to the Volvo size...could the holes have been filled and re-drilled to a 5x108 if these were from say a BMW? Usually when I see Ferrari wheels they're wider with a deeper dish out back, which these aren't.

Yeah, you're right Craig, I'll wait for the right set. Although I've never seen a Volvo specific set in an 8" width...they're usually 7". Mind you for that price, I could get those RSI LM replicas...if they're still doing it. Less retro, but still badass.

Gorgeous wheels! :mrgreen:

Anybody know what kind of body kit he has on there? Looks nice and subtle, perfect for a Volvo.
