Personally, I like the R10 wheels. They just look "right". Do you know the ET (28 or 37) off hand? I have to say that the car seems awefully quiet for only having a rear can. Those Toyo's grip like a like they were made out of gecko feet! I didn't hear any squealing at all, and absolutely no booty wander as you attacked those curvys. Which, by the way, there was no shortage of. 'Hardly any opportunity to get the rev's up eh? I suppose the 75 Turbo box helps a lot in that regard, downshifts nice too - what's the diff ratio? Can you say any more about the "special" camshafts? Me, I like the way the stock 2.5 cams sound, just wish there was a bit more intake duration to 'em.
My second car (ever) was a '73 Volvo 164E and the braking system was a split diamond circuit (so if one circuit failed, you still have two front and one rear). That was carried on to the 2 series. So those calipers have two hydraulic connections each. Did you swap in the Volvo Master Cylinder as well, or just plumbed the lines to the dual pistons? Any other considerations to make when fitting those calipers?

The color is AR759 Grigio nube (Gray cloud)
Sorry I don't know the "ET" from the R10 wheels 
Yes the car is not to loud, because the the back muffler is a stock one
My gear box is a GTV6 one but one of the last, so it's a "iso". The diff with the LSD comes from a 75 Twin Spark and it have the same ratio as a stock GTV6 one.
The engine is a 3.0 from a 164 "normal" and the cams are more "aggressif" than the "S" or "QV" one. The minimum revs from the engine is 1600 rpm, it's not very fun on normal road traffic 
The Gasoline injectors are bigger, the pression is bigger to, and the electronic main unit (???) (Motronic 4.1) was adapted.
For the Volvo calibers I still have the Alfa Master Cylinder and I used the "T" back flexible device of brake.
The disks are bigger 285mm and comes from a 164 V6, so you need to make a spacer which it is necessary to introduce between the disc and the part number 6

The pads are PBR ULTIMATE CERAMIC
