C70 alloy(s) wanted

[Proghound]

Hi all -

If anyone in the Beds/Bucks/Herts area has any unwanted rims to suit a 2008 C70, I could be interested. The idea is for use as spares when sending in my normal wheels for refurb and/or possibly to put winter tyres on.

Must be 7.5x17" ET35 5x108, ideally genuine Volvo, best of all the 7-spoke Syrma for an SE model.

Looking for up to 4 rims in any condition as long as they're not cracked or bent. With tyres, as long as they're legal, or without.

Any takers?

It's a pity you're after 7.5". The new Spiders I'm thinking of selling are 17" x 7".

I thought the genuine Volvo 7.5 x 17" rims had an offset of 45mm not 35mm?

The C70 wheels don't come up very often, have you found any?

[Proghound]

Could be they are 45mm. I pulled that size off a wheels site which said it was compatible.

Nothing found as yet but it's only a back-burner idea, there's no urgency. Bit gutted though that I missed a C70 SE being broken on eBay with the exact wheels.

I have four 18 inch Volvo Midir alloy wheels complete with tyres. I am in Leighton Buzzard too. I took the 18 inch wheels off of my MY10 C70 recently so that I could fit winter tyres and smaller wheels. If you are interested, I can PM you if you are prepared to accept 18 inch wheels.

Hi Jepho -

Thanks for the offer but I'll pass up on the 18" - the 17" I have are difficult enough to keep off the kerb! Out of interest, where did you get your smaller wheels?

Good to know of another local owner, there don't seem to be very many C70's on the road. I'll keep an eye out for you around town - and if you see an '08 in Flint Grey, that's probably me.

Cheers!

No worries. My C70 is white and on a 59 plate. I decided to buy some 16 x 7.5 inch Ronal R42 alloy wheels. They did not need an adjustment for offset... 5 x 108 ET45 and the rims appear to be high quality items.

Jepho if you still have the 18" wheels and are selling them I may be interested if the price is right ?

Unfortunately, my car was recently hit from behind by a 44 ton Volvo truck and I have had to use the wheels to replace my damaged ones.

worth a try , youve done well to still have it on the road
