Yeah you noticed I have the spacers. When I bought the car it had 19" bling bling chrome wheels on and I decided to go with the 18" Turbo wheels. After some time I figured out that these were not oem hollow or solid spokes but rather RH Turbolook wheels. The Original 31mm spacers are still on the car, which you noticed. I am now thinking of either removing the spacers and going for 18hollows, or getting 17" CupII's and paint the centers Steel grey to restore the original look of this Vesuvius specimen.. That would also include amber tail lights and front indicators.. what do you guys think? For the enthusiast, this might be a ++, but I would say most of us here like the appearance of the 18" turbo twist/Clear frontindicators/Red taillights better...Btw geolab, I have seen your C2S in several posts and its looks absolutely stunning!

awesome pix
Thanks for sharing the great pics Viggo and welcome. That car is so beautiful, I'd be terrified to drive it.
au contraire, it most certainly does count 
Anyways, I would love to goto Nürnburgring one of these days.. I have lost count of how many times I have driven it on my xbox but I guess that doesn't count

Agree, those would look great on your car.
Are the side mirrors painted grey from the factory? Nice contrast.
What model is the volvo...?

Dunno about the Volvo, its a friend om mine's.. hehe. Volvo is too common in Sweden too be appealing to me... hehe
Anyways Matt, you dont think it would be a good idea to restore the original look with the CupII's with amber lights, like in the picture below? You would rather stick with turbo twists right? Like picture 2? Thx for your input! Cheers
