Question Name these wheels

They're 17" and come as standard on the last of the S40's in Sport trim I think.

They're silver (duh) and have three prongs coming from the centre, which branch out into a further three (I think), which then branch out into a few more. A bit like lightning, I suppose.

What are they called? Where can I get them and give them to me!

When I said three prongs, I was clearly wrong.

They look like Nebulas from that pic, which are normally 18" ....

Yes...Nebulas, they're the puppies.

The late S40 Sports had 17" 4 stud versions as standard and they look fantastic.

Would dealers still be able to source them and how much do you think I'm looking at?

Anyone want to buy some 16" 4stud multispokes?

I did a bit of photoshopping this morning.
Found a press photo of an S40 sport in dark grey with Nebula wheels and changed it to Virtual Blue like mine.

What do you reckon?

Nebulas are really nice wheels - they just wont fit on a V70 classic - unless anyone knows a way to make them fit!!!!!

Sure they will !!!!

They're a bit wide so with the 225/235 tyres will rub slighty, but you could always use spacers if thats an issue.
