Theres a new one on ebay assuming its what you mean:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BN-BOXED-NEW-V...item3a578b355d

I bought this wheel before when it was pictured as a standard wheel and unfortunately was the opposite way round for my car. Sellers a decent chap and its a good price for a new wheel.

/Came across this post whilst searching about mirrors since the glass on mine has decided to part company!

That's a new one on me, I'd never heard of a Columba being N/S or O/S specific, do you have any more info that?

Cheers,
John

Basically from what I gathered was that its an optional 'extra' Volvo offered which hardly anyone bothered with!

For more details see this thread of mine when I inadvertently bought it:

indeed there was a post in the 850 forum w hile ago, where someone bought an alloy on ebay, and when it turned up, the swirls were the opposite direction to the other 3 alloys he had.

after some digging it turned out Vovlo did some handed alloys as an option, but very few were ever fitted, so most Columbias are the same no matter what side they are fitted.

Thanks for that, not something I'd ever heard of and I'm not sure why they ever did it, but good to know about
