great job, but the "columbias" are actually called "columbas", only pointed it out because my car still rolls on them

CEHepp · 06-05-2006, 07:03 PM

Eudora - Very cool looking IMO

Argon

Saurus

Echo

Electra

Canaveral

Eurus

Cassiopeia - one of my favs.

I think I covered some of the ones that you missed...might have even gotten some that you already have.

growley · 06-05-2006, 07:05 PM

Yea I think this should go to article composition. Good reference.

Tuff240 · 06-05-2006, 07:17 PM

SweedNoSpeed · 06-05-2006, 07:47 PM

theres a lot of good looking wheels, especially some of the first one, never ever seen some of those before.

neptune · 06-05-2006, 07:50 PM

Seems to be missing Satelites too. The 2000 V70R wheel. It isn't the same as the Titan or the Pegasus, though it looks similar.

Best shot I've got offhand, I'm sure there is a better one online somewhere.
16x6.5 or 17x7.5
Silver finish or Anthricite (sp?)

If you have time to drop by your local dealer and pick up their alloy wheel brochure, it has the sizes, fitment, finish and name for most of the FWD wheels. It wouldn't take too long to scan that in to get the missing wheels. Has a handy little alphabetic chart on the back and little pictures of the wheels inside. They normally hide them by the parts counter.

Greenchunks · 06-05-2006, 11:06 PM

Also, the picture that said Comets was wrong, these are comets:

not the best looking shot, this is better maybe:

about half of those are listed...the others i couldnt find pics of....if you dig some up please submit them!

jwernerny · 06-06-2006, 07:18 AM

Great work. I noticed you are missing the 14" 25 spoke wheels that came on the 240s. I am not sure what their name is. If you need a picture, I can take it from my father's car.

WheyDey · 06-06-2006, 07:33 AM

yes i do....i need pics, single wheel head on or very slight angle will do....if at all possible id like to get them all together in this post, then do the full fledged article in a different post, with model, year, offset, dia, width, and maybe even a list of what they'll fit, i need a moderator or an admin to help out on this request, since its a bit of a bandwidth-sucker and im not a supporting member....it's a free site, but it does cost someone out there money, i want that money to go to something other than a newbie-helper article about factory wheels, so any upper-echelon guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

for admin/faculty:
whaddaya think? a new post in article format or the amalgamation of replys from hundreds of volvo freaks?

if you want an article, i can certainly glom all of this input together into one consolidated post

if you wanna let this thing run amok, then by all means...but please, everyone, i BEG you, dont veer off-topic, and if i missed any wheels, post pics of it, if you dont have pics, then hold on because someone else probably will, please dont just put things like you mised such and such and then dont contribute...

thanks for all the killer responses thus far and keep those oddball wheels coming!

JE Jr · 06-06-2006, 10:52 AM

Very nice write-up!
It would be nice with ET and dimensions too. I will help on that one as far as I can during the next week, I'm just too busy doing it right now.

Neil Peart · 06-06-2006, 01:05 PM

my list of the only ones that matter :P. (hope i got comets in there)

I have never seen those before. I love them. What cars did they come on and what size are they?

Great guide btw! This is a well needed thread and a great reference.

JE Jr · 06-06-2006, 07:10 PM

They will probably fit your 960... It's 17" They're for some Special Edition of the S60/V70 with chrome side mirrors and some more stuff

I can get them for you too ;) Shoot me a PM for info.

740freak · 06-07-2006, 12:22 AM

Hi, im new here, so, dont bash me because im newbe in wheel domain!

i'm the owner of a '88 740 turbo. So, i want the pegasus wheel. but my dealer told me that's not possible because i'm RWD and pegasus are for FWD or AWD.

He talk about offset. but what is offset?
i have always thinked about if is 5x108 is ok!

if newer wheels have a different offset then my cars.. because newer volvo are all FWD or AWD. what i can get?

i want it in 17 or 18"

thanks.

ZyreX · 06-07-2006, 01:38 AM

Since the pegs are ET40, you can put on 20mm spacers on each wheel, then it will fit on your car as if they were RWD-offset.

740freak · 06-07-2006, 09:18 AM

thanks for the answer, i just need to get spacer to put pegasus wheels.
thats not bad.

i will take a look to a wheels shop for somes spacers..

thanks you!
