Alloys for my 96 940

jlawler · Jun 28th, 2011, 22:59

Hi,
Can anybody tell me what style of alloys my 96 940 should have. Volvo 15" alloys come up quite often in the 2nd hand lists but there are a number of different styles. What would be authentic?

Thanks

Justin

Slighty depends on what spec. Most common are the 10 spoke, (can't remember what name Volvo gave them!). Have a look round the cars for sale on e-bay and see what they have - will give you a good idea!

Welcome to the wonderful world of 900's btw, friendly ol bunch here enjoy!

Found some pics for you - either of these were standard fit on your year 940.

The first are adhara and the second are pholus both 15"

Thanks for that!!! I could do with a single "adhara" for my 940 as I have a steel spare. Now at least I know what I am looking for!

The easiest to get and therefore cheapest are probably Hydras.

Thanks for the info. I have come across these (see picture) listed as from a 960. I don't see the Volvo mark on the center hub but they look the same (of course they might have sprayed them to cover up damage).

Thanks again

Hi all,
does anyone know of any pre-95 960 16" or 17" alloys?

Cheers

these are known as 'aries' 940 alloy wheels.
