the underlørd Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Buying used OEM aftermarket wheels will provide a better fit than most aftermarket wheels. But I still hate it.lol. how about aftermarket rims made specifically for volvo.. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tca217 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'll beat you over the head if they're either the 17" Propus or the 18" Triton, and you don't buy them for $400....just gimme your address, and I will literally come over and beat you over the head.....maybe even a couple of your family members for being associated with you.Well it is a done deal, I pick them up on Wed. and they are def. 18 inch. Tires are fair but will replace with new ones anyhow. I am a happy camper now !! :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tca217 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hopefully I will have them mounted with new tires by the the middle of next week if all goes well. I would like to get some rear spacers for the rear to bring the rims out more to match the front. Where is the best place to buy these? What thickness is recommended for a stock ride? This is just a driver, not a track car. Just want it to look cool rolling down the highway! Hopefully in a few months I will be able to put a brake upgrade and lowering springs/struts on it. It all takes money and this is the wrong time of the year to try and save money. Thanks for all the responses and positive information, really appreciate it. One of these days I am going to figure out why I am unable to post pictures on this site. I would like to show off my ride like everyone else does but haven't been able to do it yet. Don't think it is the computer, pretty sure it is the operator!! :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tca217 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 bump: Just in case anyone is looking for some stock 16 inch 5 spoke rims that came on the 850 turbo, I found a guy in Irvine, Calif that has a set of four without tires, says he will take $75.00 obo. If anyone needs the info just let me know and I'll give it to ya. I was going to get those before I found the 18's so I feel bad about sort of hanging the guy up so I said I would pass the word on them.
