15" steels

Got two, need two more for my 240. Tire conditon isn't important, any condition considered since I'm on a budget and they'll be getting new tires anyway.

Cheers

Near topic. Why steels? You have a silver 240 SE. In my opinion Omega alloys look good on my 240 silver SE. They are a 15" alloy interpretation of the plastic EEK wheel trims [usually] supplied with the SE.

You never know your luck with Volvo wheels. A full set of Omegas might become available at a bargain price. I got good enough prices to buy two separate sets. Summer and winter. Cushti. I am on the parent of all budgets. But tyres are wot grips the road. Wot are tires?

Long story short I like the look of satin black steels on my 240. I've run on alloys before but, short of a decent set of Virgos, I'm happier in the knowledge that I can just whip them off and repaint them in an afternoon than having to recondition something which I've curbed whilst manoeuvring a boat around.

No accounting for taste!

Well off topic, but you're on the Isle of Wight?
Whereabouts? Haven't seen a 240 over there for a while now.

Am back this weekend with my beasty 960 so if you see a silver one hooning it up the dual, it'll be me

Cheers
