'Cheese Grater' wheels as fitted to the DRIVe models, not Volvo's best design by any means !

Not the biggest fan of them myself but a chap at work has them on his C30 DRIVe.

They stay pretty clean which is a good thing .. his car only gets washed once a year, and thats only if the dealership do it!

Noone will nick them either!

I think they finished the design and then accidentally hit the "Invert Colors" button!

I saw a set of them a few weeks ago in the local volvo dealers on a very lairy yellow C30 as if the colour wasn't bad enough, I did actually think someone had put them on to distract customers from the colour.

They are odd, they always remind me of my fathers old reel to reel tape deck from the 60's!

Still, somebody looked at them and thought "mmmmm they look gooood!"

I think that colour's "Hello Yellow". Perhaps the wheels should be called "Goodbye Good Taste".
