There are Volvo meets?

Yes, unfortunately yours, like mine is about 15 years too new. Unless you like witty Ford jokes.

Re: 2008 Volvo C30

Ha! I was guessing that would be the case.

Re: 2008 Volvo C30

Well I definitely will if I'm the only Volvo there, ha!
I've started to see a few more C30s around town but they're all boring base models. I think I've seen a couple S40s and C70s with rims but nothing extensive.

If I wasn't 90% sure I was getting rid of ours in a year I'd seriously consider at least putting springs on it. Especially now that I've had it for a couple years.

That looks amazing. I really love the debadged grill on C30's. Hot.

Where'd you get your wheels if you don't mind? The net is crap for finding anything that fits on a Volvo.

Re: 2008 Volvo C30

I bought them direct from Evolve. Then sold them not too long after. 19s + coil overs are too much for our third world roads. Tire Rack has been getting a better and better selection, but it's still minimal.

Re: 2008 Volvo C30

Woohoo! Just ordered a new set of wheels from Team Dynamics, and another set of Bridgestones from Kal Tire. Should hopefully be on the new running gear within 2 weeks, assuming I don't get gang banged by customs again.

Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2. 18x8, only 20 lbs each. Decided to go for performance this time around rather than bling. I like their simplicity.

Re: 2008 Volvo C30

did you get those from tirerack? they have 18s for 199US a wheel which is a steal for how light they are..

Re: 2008 Volvo C30

Nope, I ordered direct from team Dynamics. I was lucky enough to get a Volvo fitment (fingers crossed on no screw ups) without having to wait 2 or 3 months for a custom fab. They were $225US each plus shipping.

Re: 2008 Volvo C30

Wheels have arrived! 18x8 Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2.

Packaging was unbelievable. Triple-boxed, with each wheel covered in a thin foam pad and a rubber lip protector. Very impressive. I was a bit worried at first because I measured them just for fun and they are 9" wide, but then I realized wheel width is probably measured from the lip interior and not the exterior.

Unfortunately, my tires haven't arrived yet (hopefully Monday!) so all I have for now are some unmounted photos. Can't wait to get these on. Will post some glamour shots when they are.
