Not even sure its workable .... but putting it out there.

My pretty much perfect Selena's for your Volans?

Mine:



Yours:
(pic borrowed from ttboonie....it inspired the question because I have always like these rims)

 

I would, I like the big 5 spokes but would definetly trade. Small distance problem though.

I would love to trade someone for like 6 months.

 

Cwood,
I believe that Volans really matchup well with the Lunar. I added the green center caps for a small contrast. They are very easy to clean also. I'm a little ****, so I clean mine after every drive because the brake dust adds up so fast. If you catch it early, you can dry wipe the wheels.

 

I think this would be a no brainer. The Selena's look so sexy who wouldnt want them?
I want to buy any 2 rears off some one for my XFr so I can put drag tires on. Anyone want to sell 2 rears?

 

As far as the Selena'a go who doesnt like cheesy chromed plastic that pits after 6K miles...

 

I have seen mention of that but mine are fine after about 35K. I use rim cleaner and wash about once a week. They look perfect.

 

Cwood,

You sure you want to trade? I love the look on your car.....I have to say, the Selena's look the best on the XFs. The Volans come next.

 

I just feel like the more "chunky" rims look more muscular. The Selena's look more refined...little bit delicate to me. I asked my two teenage sons to look at both pics and say which they liked better....they said the volans as well but couldn't explain why. Ease of cleaning would sure be a bonus.

I may see if I can buy a set over the winter when the Selena's are off the car.

 

I have no problem with either wheel, however I think the Selenas look better on the darker colored cars like dark blue and black. I think the chrome (fake maybe) inserts help bring out the darker cars. The Volans to me have more of smooth non-busy look that blends well with the car. I guess that's why I'm not much of a fan of after market wheels on high end "European" cars. This is only my opinion, but I've never seen after market wheels on European cars that make the car look "better". Different? Yes. But better...? I would rather hear "hey look at that car" rather than "hey look at those wheels".

 

Detroit wheel and tires has volans far cheaper then a dealer could do.

 

I got my snows from DWT and was looking recently on their site but saw no Volans.

 

the big fat ones are ugly as hell

 

The big fat ones actually make the car. The second nicest factory XF wheel. They look just as good as your aftermarkets, some would say, even better.
