Default OEM alloy size?

Good evening Gents,

My C70 T5 GT has still got it's OEM 5 spoke alloys.
I know they are 7.5 x 17", and I also know they are PCD 5 x 108mm.
But what's the ET on them??

Not sure of the ET sorry, but dont forget the bore, Volvos have a bore of 65.1. Found out recently when i put alloys on with a bore of 67.0mm without spigot rings and they were spinning like a boiled egg-causing all sorts of shakes'n'judders!

Should be ET43 if they are original wheels and should be stamped on them on the inside of the wheel if you want to check.

Thanks Gents! Much appreciated...

I've now learnt that I've got "Comet C" alloys on my C70. So yes, ET43.
Good to know.
Wish I could find a set of decent "Props C" alloys for her instead though...

Geeeez... I really wish you hadn't linked to that Volvo Accessory document!!
Not good for my mental health.
I now want just about half of what's in there!!
For starters, that 3-spoke sports steering wheel towards the very end of the document is nothing short of stunning. I now MUST have one!!
Being the Volvo novice that I am, I'll have to ask (perhaps stupidly), is stuff like this actually still to be found?? I would seriously pay good money if I could find a steering wheel like that...

That Ohlins developed handling kit looks pretty tasty too! Has anyone in here actually ever driven a Volvo with this kit fitted?? I'd love to know just how hard the suspension is. I do enjoy a firm and well-balanced suspension setup, but on bumpy back roads it can also easily become a bit too stiff.

Mmmmmmm.... and that 320mm front brake kit for 17" wheels looks rather tasty too!

Damn it!! I now won't sleep tonight...
