Nothing I'm not too embarrassed to show
Aside from a fucked up alignment and TONS of extra weight in the car, she did alright.
I might bail on the white wheels...haven't decided yet. The pegs are lighter and roll so smooth.

Anyway...what came in mine was base model black seats that had an ass area that hardened on the driver side so NOT comfy.
Fully manual passenger seat so no occupancy sensor like it needs...so this was the full set of GOBI R seats for a wagon FROM 2006
which are insanely difficult to find. Fronts are not in great shape but not torn or anything, just creased and wrinkled...I'll end up buying
dye and redoing them to dress them up...biggest thing is they are the right color and COMFY!!!!

@SamDoe1 spicy indeed!

 

You should try and lube them up with some good conditioner and let it sit in the sun for a while. Might get some of the wrinkles and stuff out that way. Redying them is a PITA and may never look 100%.

 

I will...but the wrinkles are darker...
we will see, I spot dyed the XC90 I cleaned up that one time and it looked great...
I was also thinking that if I wanted to try and do Atacama professionally it would help
to start off with a light colored leather.

 

Might just be variation in where the oils are in the leather...assuming it's real leather.

 

I was thinking, did I make a thread about the Volvo V70R? I did not...but I DID make a bullshit vehicle thread!
Damn, so many have come and gone in the last 4 years...

guess this is as good a place to update as anyAfter much debate and the need for yet another set of tires, I opted to sell the Turbomac wheels to a very nice enthusiast I met locally. I kinda missed the Pegasus wheels despite needing a refinish. I redid them in white to go with the front plate and mirror cap. Love how much more they reveal the calipers and although they aren't "light" per se, they were 5 pounds lighter than the fifteen52.



Seriously considering the press in rear camber bushings from IPD. Doesn't seem like a fun install but I need to stop cheese grating tires.

 

Looks good but I can’t wait until you clean the fifteen52’s and put them back on, they’re the superior wheel.

 

LOL...but I don't own them anymore.
I would consider the tarmac wheel but likely in bronze.
Then again, ,they are heavier than stock. I would not mind getting a lightweight enkei but reality is, the pegasus wheels are the aspec wheels of the Volvo world.

 

lies.

 

I fucking love that wagon.

Did you ever figure out the leather conditioner thing?

 

@SamDoe1 I have conditioned it but I eventually plan to have it dyed professionally to atacama.

 

So, after selling the white turbomac wheels that were actually heavier than the nearly 29 pound pegasus wheels by about 5 pounds...I missed the look of aftermarket. Pegs fit the look of the VR extremely well...but they aren't unique, especially if you go online and look up any photo of one and are used to your own look. I was swapping around wheels on my 07 Acura TL-S and was reminded of just how lightweight the NT03 are when I picked them up. Measured, WOW...over 8 pounds lighter than the Pegs.



Okay, now to make them work...same issue on the Acura except the Volvo has more robust fenders and BBK ALL AROUND. Did some research and test fitting using 1 lug bolt (5x114 and 5x108 do NOT line up at all)...I ordered a 40 offset rather than the +27 I have with the Acura and what do you know...they don't clear the calipers. BUT, they do allow me to run as small a spacer as necessary to clear caliper while also making them weak enough for resale to non R owners down the line.



Worth the work for a set of Japanese quality lightweight wheels that look great and don't break the bank. I guess I have a type. LOL.

 

Dannnnnng

 

The Spider-Man theme song started playing in my head when I saw those

was caliper clearance an issue just at the front?

Car looks awesome!

 

Best wheels yet IMO. Wagon still looking BOSS AF.

 

:Love 'em!

 

Thanks, man...I'm super happy with it...
YES, clearance was an issue on the TL and the V70...but the V70R has freakin BBK on all 4 corners so even more challenging. Kept the weaker offset and used spacers to be able to go weak
as possible to clear.
Thanks Sam...I agree, they fit the style of the wagon so well! Boss is what I was after so all here!

 

Why thank you sir...
