Amazon: - Wheel trims

Thowdfella · Dec 8th, 2019, 06:33

I am looking for a set of wheel trims for my 1966 122s. Brookhouse have them but at £166 thats an awful lot. Nordicar advertise a set at £66 plus delivery but I cant verify that they will fit. they say for amazon up to 1964.
Has anyone bought a set and can confirm they will fit my car please?

Do you want rings or full cover as per the 123GT? The GT type are available on the bay for about £100 a set of 4. They are nor perfect being rather less shiny than the originals and a couple of the vent holes don't match perfectly to the ones in the wheels. Look good though and I have a set on my Estate. Make sure you get a set that matches your wheels. Saloon 4" and Estate 4 .5"The lip on the outside is wider on the 4.5" wheel and the trim has to fit snug so the saloon one won't fit the estate and the estate one will fit proud of the saloon wheel That fact alerted me to to my estate having 4" wheels on the front and 4.5" on the back when I bought it so had to get 2 estate wheels to allow me to fit the proper trims.
The Nordicar rings may not be stainless like the original Volvo ones fitted to the earlier solid wheels. Those fit the later wheels fine and look good.

Thank you Derek For your reply and explaining about the different widths. I now know I need 4.0 inch widths.. I am looking for the rings and Nordicar list that theirs fit 544, Amazon, P1800 P1800e etc and as the P1800 has 4.5 inch wheels it looks like they are not suitable. Unfortunately, Nordicar wont accept email queries as they get too many!
Derek, could you explain your last line - "Those fit the later wheels fine and look good". which ones are you referring to here?

The stainless steel "beauty rings" that Volvo fitted to the earlier solid centre wheels fit equally well to the later slotted rims They will fit either 4 or 4 1/2" rims. If you want a set of the rings PM me.
