Like those. Kind of a "trucker" feel in them. I hope that you'll be saved from cylinder head problems.

yea them van engines in there are quite loud, but when driving you can hardly hear it running. what sort of cylinder head problems?
oo btw for the wheels it might be a good idea checking the wheel offset on the 760 if its the same as the 960 et35 you will be able to get quite a big variety as they have the same offset on the FWD Volvos

The wheels on her are off a 960, I like them but they could do with a refurb. |

ohh ok, I thought they are van engines they would have been better?
960 offset, nice that means loads of wheels same offset as fords(aftermarket), pugs and FWD volvos
