Hello forum!

THIS IS MY FIRST POST and I'm from the other side of the pond. Obviously, drive on the "wrong" side.

Late last year, my allroad lease is coming to an end and it was car hunting again. It came down to FX35 or XC90 V8. I drove them back to back and both my gf and I preferred the volvo. The more luxurious ride and spacious cabin won over. This is my first Volvo and I didn't lease it!

I picked it up on last Dec 3rd, a 2007 XC90 V8 with 14k miles and warranty til 2010. After constantly on the phone to search for a white XC90 for nearly 3 months, my patience has paid off. I can't believe it that I found the exact car.
It's pretty loaded w/ Navi, Wood steering, Bluetooth, Heated Seats, Rear assist, Active Bi-Xenon, 18" Camulus etc.

Since then I've added the roof rack w/ snowboard clamps, all weather and cargo mats, 2500k fog lamps, 35% front window tint!

Now NEW SHOES

New tires: Hankook 275/45-20 Ventus ST RH06
New Wheels: Baccarat Passion 20x8.5 ET+40 Gloss Black

><

Next up should be the muffler. Haven't decided to go with Remus or Heico, yet.

Loving the new wheels and the new found traction/ride w/ the V8. The tire rides a lot quieter and actually a bit softer than the OE Pilots.

Nice car!
Unusual wheels on your volvo - not OEM. What kind are they and what size?
