Volvo Alloys x 4
I've 4, what I would call turbine wheels (as fitted to early 242GTs and circa 'B reg 240 GLEs). They'll all need refurbing. They have tyres but best assume they're scrap.
Sorry, no pictures at the moment - just seeking level of interest. £100. Collection Bristol Thanks. Stuart |

I cannot believe that I spent months looking for this style of wheel before I finally found some - in Finland! - last week! Unfortunately, already paid for & shipped for over double your cost, but I may be in touch if they don't turn up!!!

Hello.
Are they 15" ? Are they Omega ? They do look a lot like Omega. I have one set on my car and a spare set. For anyone thinking of buying this set from Stuart I recommend them. The Omega wheels are well made in the opinion of my local tyre depot. Well they are Volvo wheels. . |

Size?
If I have read the size of the fitted tyre correctly these are 14" wheels; would you confirm that please.

Aha. 14" is interesting. There was a thread not a long time ago re wheels of that ilk. One link posted was from down under.

For comparison, a mid-refurb 15" Omega wheel where the differences can be seen :
The original image from the OP : Easier to compare the two wheels when the pics are the same size.

Hi, yes I can confirm the ones I am selling are 14 inch wheels. They're definitely well made and seem a lot lighter than Virgos.
They clearly need a jet wash (dirt beneath the lifting lacquer) but would refurb well. Stuart |
