sweet thanks , now i've got to find a set of those titan or tritan. Dang never knew volvo had made some really good rim designs. Any info on offsets or rim sizes?

Tick · 06-05-2006, 10:04 AM

Nice work.

Missed peg's.

What's with the four bolt.. hmm, stellar?

Tick · 06-05-2006, 10:07 AM

There's a 14 that looks just like the dersus. Besides a smaller center cap..

And does omega actually count as a wheel/did they make a version of this as a wheel or hubcap only.. Aptly named though.

jrocheunh · 06-05-2006, 10:30 AM

we need to update those with widths/diameters and offsets

also need pictures of (if i remember correctly these are missing)

- Polaris
- Early 242 GT wheels

also need a space between each image for clarity.
Moving to showroom for now, possibly to articles later.

yes, he doesn't have a picture of nova on there.
