Winter wheels are off, so time to update the build thread. Mercedes W140 S-Class wheels, circa 1996 vintage.

These were on my old Volvo 850 wagon back in 2004 when I imported them in from Germany. They changed owners a few times and I eventually bought them back after many years.

Yes, the center caps are staying and I don't care.

I do kind of like the way they look on the car.
Expat, how many of your wheel set do you have right now? I would think they would take up a ton of room in a garage or storage area. Right now I have two old bent Arubas that I need to get fixed that are taking up some valuable garage space. I can't imagine what your collection is like. I can almost envision a type of walk in closet off the master bedroom that houses wheels instead of hundreds of pairs of shoes. I just wish I had the ambition/money/space/ability/time to do the kinds of things with my car like you do. Thanks for sharing!

It's about the same ride quality as the X-Type sport suspension.

As with everything, I mod and sculp for me and what I think looks good. Granted, I have a warped sense of taste though compared to most.

How much longer do you think you'll keep the X? I've been saying that I want to get rid of mine since last fall but every time I get to the point where I'm ready to put it up for sale and start looking for something new, something at work or in life comes up and I have to put the plan on the back burner.

Yeah you're right... These were definitely around before the Eurolines and Carlssons ever came about.
