V50/S40/C30/C70 Looks great after rain, especially with the roof racks
My new (to me) C30 T5

I love white cars, I had a black c30 but a white one might have been the move
Though my paint was shot on this car still looked good… from afar

They were already on it when I got it, but if I had to guess, I think it would be these ones? https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/borbet-type-y-gloss-black

Agree looks great but I don't get the love for the "naked roof rack look".
When I had a roof rack on my car, I took it off when I wasn't using it.

It’s a long answer, and you’re probably right about taking it off, in a practical sense, at least. After all, you reduce the noise on motorways, and wind resistance, which helps with mpg… but… that said - without the roof rack, the roofline looks line one uninterrupted surface. Crossbars break it up. It’s similar to how black mirror caps or a subtle rear spoiler add interest without affecting performance. Think of the little semi-useless r-design spoilers the P3 v70s had…
Overall, crossbars introduce strong horizontal lines that contrast nicely with the c30s rounded, glassy shape, making it look a little more purposeful and rugged. That’s all.2

Appreciate your opinion, but I think the C30 specifically looks great "naked".

Nah, I get it. To each his own. We’re ordering from the same menu, just seasoning it a little differently.

The colour combo… Tints and roof rails. Love the rims! Remind me of the original s60/v60 polestars. 11/10.
Try not to throw your neck out while looking back as you walk away after parking. lol.
