Name the wheel
Can anyone tell me what the name of this style of wheel is, commonly found on the S60.
Are they a straight fit onto the 850 ? What size is the rim 16" or 17" ? How much do they usually go for, on here or on the bay for a set ? Does anyone have them on their 850 so I can have a ganders ??  Al.

YEAH they ARE "tethys" wheels & as Dan says .... HONESTLY they DO NOT look GREAT on an 850 .....
they are VERY similar to the 960 wheels of the 90's Era ... & TBH they tend to make the 850's look "Older" than they actually are... Don't be Put off by the above .......... it is ONLY MY PERSONAL OPINION.. each to their own as I say Keith

I had Tethys on my V70 before the comets. I sold my set of 5 recently for £185 with one flat tyre and all in need of refurb.
 A very classy wheel in my opinion.

Well I think they look brilliant and I would love them on my V70 if there was a 16" version.

The only thing is the size... 17", the ride is bad enough on 16s plus you then have tyre costs.
