Volvo rims

does anyone here know what Volvo rims will bolt straight up?
Is there only a limited set, like a certain era (like the Early Holden, then HQ, then Commodore)?
Anyone know of wreckers that stock them?
Help!!!

If it was a day job and not too steeply priced, I may go down that path... gotta be easier than Commodore.
I rang Hoppers for a chat today... was pretty much fobbed off.... couldn't be bothered with me. Basically, buy our $1300 kit or see you, bye.
Not what I was expecting after the feedback from others here!
Whatta ya got in mind wheel wise?
Thanks makka....
Hey Matty, keep us up to date on Maddy's build up!
73LJWhiteSL, what are these hub rings you're speaking of??

YiriSS, 15 by what mate? Aren't they the interceptor lookalikes?
What size tyres you running Mick?
I'm not put off at all by these rims... I'm thinking color coded with a chrome dress ring?
Might look OK.....?
Definately something different, and cheaper than an HQ conversion!!! Gotta make tyre choice a whole lot easier too.
Still, can't get those 14x7 Rebels outta my head..... bloody 14in tyres!

Do you know the offset?
Do you reckon you could get 235's in there?
Have a look at LHmusL's Volvo rims on page 4 of the photoshoot thread.... different style, but still Volvo's....

Knoath, I can't really tell you anything about them. Peter put the Volvo maggs on his UC, and had problems with vibrations above 80KPH. He said he went to a wheel place and they made up some 'hub rings' or something similar and that fixed the problem.... probably best to talk to him.73LJWhiteSL, what are these hub rings you're speaking of??

You guys might be happy to no that yokie's are bringing back 265x50x14, they will hit our shores in a couple of months, I got a quote from my local tyre place $266.00 each fitted.
Cheers Chris
