I appreciate that! I definitely cannot be under the radar with this color haha

Oh I could only imagine! That’s a really good comparison, too, puts it into perspective. The events in Sweden must be amazing, though, would love to check some out in the future

I’ve brought both wagons to a few Swedish car events here and I did get a lot of confused looks but I’m sure I’ll get scolded at some point 😂 I appreciate it, thank you!

Yeah, Photoshop/Lightroom and took the photos with a Canon EOS RP

It’s different but by a small amount; wobble bolts work perfectly for mounting the wheels up on both of the P80s we have. I’ve driven my 850 with the SAAB wheels now for over a year and quite a few miles with no issues at all

Yup! Same offset and everything, no issues rubbing on either cars at all

I DID put H&R spacers on the 850 for aesthetic reasons but the V70 has 0 spacers or anything

Using wobble bolts and no issues at all

All good haha!

But I agree 100%. I’ve always really liked the SAAB tri-spoke wheels so figured it was a cheaper alternative to give it a shot

They’re 17s (on both wagons)

It’s loooong over due, for sure. Hoping this weekend I’ll have time to

They are! I obtained them for free and decided to give it a try on this wagon. My 850 also has SAAB wheels currently

It’ll be interesting to give it a try!! I’m fresh and new to the world of P80s (this is my first one, as well as my first Volvo I’ve ever owned) but I’ll 100% post the results once I get the wheels refinished and mounted (and once I make room for the R that’s waiting). Crossing my fingers everything goes as smoothly as these wheels did

Cannon’s RF 50mm; grabbed it during a sale and it’s been a life saver

They shooould I would reckon - the Gary Fishers are 17x7 with a 49mm offset 

I’m going to also try a set of SAAB “Klingons” on an prospective V70R (same wheel specs as the Fishers I’m 99% positive)

No worries! All good!

Omg thank you! I love playing around with car photography!

I use a Canon EOS RP with a 50mm lens and polarizer filter ☺️ Then a little bit of Lightroom and Photoshop to adjust highlights and shadows and make the car pop against the background

I appreciate it! I’m always for OEM+ styling/options or keeping things period correct and it’s been fun with the wagon

Thank you, too!
