Post R wheels on an s80 - opinions?

I've got a dark blue 2004 s80. I like really simple wheels and ever since I saw my first s70R I've fallen in love. Would it be worth while to get these: http://www.vivaperformance.com/catal...s_titanium.jpg wheels for my s80 or would they just look silly on an s80?

These are my current rims: Ignore the mud.

how much for the R "pegasus" rims.. I know IPD was selling replicas for a while, worth looking into..... and they would look fine, but I like the 17's I have on my volvo right now

I'll probably end up getting them through ipd but viva performance also sells them ^

I was thinking the 17's as well, but I'm still just considering it now so that might change.

Mudding was great, minus all of the scratches from the rocks and mud lol

Thanks, and I'm definitely going with the Wheels that ipd provides because they are cheaper. They have different colors though, a black matte finish and a silvery finish. I'd like the black but not too sure how'd that go with the dark blue of my car.

Here's a link to them, I'm looking at the 17's.

I guess you can't go wrong with R wheels, thanks for the input.

R FTW! haha but yea, its one of the few things that ipd sells cheaper than competitors... its funny sometimes that the less "fussy" rims end up looking better...

I guess people like ferrari have always known that and they prevent putting a zillion spokes

I totally agree, the stock rims aren't very intricate at all, and I still don't enjoy cleaning them, couldn't imagine doing anything with lot's of spokes.
