Wide Steel Wheels 5.5j
 
hi ya folks

im on the hunt for some wide steel wheels 5.5j for my 123GT to complete the look i have alloy wheels (new torq thrusts ) but for now till i restore the car i want some of these to run on and use later for winter price is off the scale i will pay what i have to i must have a set come wind and shine as they belong on the car so if anyone has some they want to sell i have two atm not perfect tho push come to shuve if anyone has just two wheels that would be a use and make a set that way .

or i would idealy like to buy a complete set of four dont care about price i will pay what i have to depending on condition thats the only factor which will alater the price in my mind.

but there is upto Ģ1000 sat here for a set ready when someone wishes to part with a set no time wasters need post im not looking to wait hence my budget

**** no iffy wheels i want perfection geniune would suit me better ****

do I have to be the first to point out that Volvo never made 5.5J wheels for that fitment?

I know there were some early aftermarket copy wheels and assume that is the ones you are looking for rather than the high quality new one from China!

You can get repros from the usual suspects now..link

i know they was a aftermarket wheel in 5.5j but dad has some on his GT with a saftey bead and stamped up VOLVO and look fantastic but The original wheel centres were used with new 6" wide rims my GT was sold with them i have found out so i must get them back on the car to have the original spec it left the dealership with ;) i have the invoice that documents it !!!!

i rather not touch the repro ones for insurance reasons they wont insure you on china parts without a high premium of course a set would do till i drop onto a real set of volvo stamped ones but the money would reflect it as there fakes but give the look im after for now

regards

I think the nearest to genuine or period 5.5 wheels are KPZ wheels.

i would prefer 5138 from lemmerz including second Hump....
by the way the new rims are awefull and the manufactor is already closed again.... only a few couple of these "things" are left, i donīt want to call it rims.


omg ist 1538 Lemmerz ...sorry for that...

By the way ....Volvo 613014 should be an orginal Volvo rim

Get some stock ones banded to whatever width you like? Thats probably what we are going to do with our Estate.
