okay guys i have a volvo 940 1991 and im wanting it to look cool but not flashy you know im getting new rims and was wondering about yalls ideas on mods im running stock turbo rims the car is solid black ill post pics tomorrow just wanting advice on how to make it look cool again instead of a granny mobile.

 

Sell it and buy a mustang or something if you want to 'look cool'. Volvos are not about 'looking cool' except maybe to the librarian and grad student crowd.

 

think you miss understood i didn't mean cool like a mustang or sports car more like i want to change the rims get a paint job clean up the engine bay i love the way it looks just wanna mod it a little not trying to make it look like anything but a volvo and i love volvo just want it more personal

 

Anything like this would look good, but you're gonna have to lower the front end and get rid of that "nose up" look.

 

I liked the looks of the turbo 'Hydra' rims on my 740 T... most aftermarket rims look pretty tacky. going low profile just harshes up the ride.

 

Everybody has their own tastes and interpretation of "beauty". I think the best looking rims ever for 740/940's we're the Borbet(first) and Polaris(second-and were a factory option) rims made exclusively for them. Sadly, no longer made. An easy trick to lower the front end without stiffening the ride is get some standard, non Turbo front springs, which have an 85 lb spring rate and cut off 1 coil. That will drop it an inch and bring the spring rate up to 90 lbs, which is the standard rate for Turbo springs.
