OK, so awhile ago i traded a set of virgos for a decent set of 14in steelies. they served there purpose for the time. the reviews were mixed and thought that i should look for another set of wheels. so i decide they had to go. i bought a very nice set from ptouch20 at Ikea on sunday. i couldn't wait to get them on. here are the results...........

here is what the 242 was stuntin

here is what i am rocking now. they are 15x7 et11. i dont know the name of the wheel. it gave me goosebumps when they were finally on. i know that it needs moar lower and less tire. i have new lug nuts that i am powder coating black and the wheels might be painted black with polished lips, but i'm really liken the gold.

Looks nice with the gold on your color car, considered making mine gold too. They are the Volvo Cross x's. Mine were all silver when they came on a 91 244 i had years ago, painted the spokes black a couple of years ago, they've now been on about 6 or 7 of my cars so far, can't part with them, timeless good looks......:nod::nod::nod:

Lookin' good. But, your headlamp assemblies need the 1978-80 242 spacers, so they don't look like they're overly recessed...

I don't think they're Multi-X, the only ones i've seen are 15x7 et20, not et11 as mentioned above.
