ATS Cup wheels

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

I but them on. With Koni FSD's and 195/50/R15 tyres, they would fit perfect :D Don't know the front clearance yet. Don't look at the tyres on the rims, they are crap :)

They look wicked on your car... I have a whitey, so couldn't pull them off as well. The darker colour seems to show em off!

Will look great when there are some new tyres on them!

Ohh, I like them! :shock: What is the offset? Get us some proper pictures with the car out of the garage!

As for a white car - they'd look awesome with the centers painted black or dark grey!

These wheels where made 4x100 PCD only with ET28 and ET20. The ones I have are ET28. They are 7Jx15. As for outside pics, not yet. My car has no exhaust system and no centering rings for the wheels yet. Ou, the headgasget is still not changed.

Ok, moved the car now and the front caliber is hitting the wheel :( Damn. I think I need to grind it down a bit to make them fit.

And here is the rear. Removed the front to get the car out of the garage.

Do you reckon 205 tyres would be ok? I've got basically the same, yet to fit them but like yours, the tyres on two are very low on tread and wondering if I can squeeze 205 under the arches. Hope mine don't hit the calipers! :?

195 is just on the safe side of things. I'll try and grind some material off the front calibers and see then.

took another look on the front calibre :) All I need is a litle grinding, not much to make them work. I have almost new front brake pads, so the caliber is all the way out on the wheel side.

Looks much better then I imagined.

I think making the centre silver made it a lot better.

You do need side skirts, though :hopping:

Looking even better than I expected! Especially when grey! - looking kind'a oldschool, a bit like something you'd see on a Amazon.

Another great gain, by having them grey, is that it doesn't draw your mind to compare it with the Gotti-rims you always see on old VW and Opels.

Nice job mate, I really like the euro look on any car a nice set of deep dish wheels sitting in the arches looks smart. I'm saving up for a nice turbo in the summer hopefully. Nice to get some good ideas on the styling! :hopping:
