Wow they look awesome they truly do suit the car

WOW! They look the shizzle mate. I saw them on a foreign S70R once and thought they looked amazing. You just need to go a tiny bit lower at the back IMO and it will be perfect. My new fave wheel combo for the V70.

na its best to have slightly higher at the back as it squats level then under accelaration
BTW those look amazing really suit the car

Looking good, just need the matching brakes now.
Actually I made 911 front and rears for one of mine.

That looks the dog's wheels really suit it

When i read what wheels you'd bought i was thinking, my mate had some of those on his s3 and while they looked great on that, i'm not sure they'd suit an old v70.....................................but i was completely wrong.
The 1st pic of the whole car with the wheels on made me go "wow", they look f-ing brilliant. Very cool:cool:

Very popular on the vw scene, I think they may become popular on here too, that looks the nuts mate, I like people who think outside the box.

As ive said from day one this car looks the nutts, and those wheels really do just finish it off nicely TOP JOB :)
Post 753165 by AndysR on 2014-12-25 23:16:47
Stunning, didn't realise these were direct fit, in that I thought the stud spacing would be different... Fantastic the car looks simply stunning you must be really pleased with the results!
Post 753167 by merc85 on 2014-12-25 23:19:13
i thought VAG and Porsche stud patten was 5x112 tbh
Post 753200 by T5frankie on 2014-12-26 11:25:21
Not the first time these wheels have been used for an x70 they look great
Post 753258 by AcidicDavey on 2014-12-26 19:09:49
Cheers everyone :)
Porsche are 5x130 and I got 20mm adaptors made by Superforma.co.uk
I had a set with Porsche threaded studs so I'm now running wheel nuts.
Locking wheel nuts would be a good idea but they will be very expensive!
As some have said there has been one other guy on the American forums who had a set of these on his S70 then C70, they looked stunning I thought so I had myself set on a set ever since, this was 2.5 years ago!
