S40 (New) Wheels/Tyres : - New Alloys - Which

chrisdicko · Apr 29th, 2012, 12:21

Do you guys have an recommendations or pictures of alloys you have fitted to a S40?

The ones on the car now are 16", so think I may go up to 17".

Thanks

My fav 17"s are the "Spartacus". They look quite similar to the "Mestra" rims, just don't have curved spokes.

Hi,

Are these a Volvo OEM wheel?

Thanks

Have Mestra 17" on my S40 and always like the look on them, never seem to age and still look good after 5 years

I swopped my 18" Medusa horrors for some brand new Cratus alloys. They're very nice, I also like the Serapis alloys, both 17" and Volvo OEM alloys and definitely worth considering. You can sometimes pick them up on ebay if you want to save some money on brand new prices.

Cratus and Serapis pics attached respectively.

Thanks guys.

Buying proper Volvo alloys seems very expensive to be honest! So was thinking of maybe going for something after-market, multi-spoke. Just like T5_Monkey actually! They look ideal

That's what eBay's for.

I can't find any OEM Volvo ones on eBay to be honest?!
