Im wanting to know how easily available, yet not expensive, these wheels are. http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/VOLVO+V40/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146-236,N-240-4294965887-4294966791/advert.action?R=200829314496236&distance=149&postcode=bd2+3pr&channel=CARS&make=VOLVO&model=V40&min_pr=&max_pr=&max_mileage=

I wouldnt mind some, yet i've not seen many of them. Whats the wheel name etc??

Cheers,
Bradley

About £280 per wheel from volvo.

And good luck trying to find someone wanting to sell them at a decent price I tried for ages.

did find a couple of sets on damaged volvos through autotrader but just got black wheels instead.

They look like Volvo 18" Medusa alloys, fitted to the new S40 T5.

Or these http://swtyres.co.uk/wheels/volvo_prestige/m12/hps are similar.

i enquired about them from volvo - were around £1200 not inc tyres....

someone did get a set recently for 250quid, but they're very rare.. try breakers yard, one with new cars as they were popular after 03' and towards the end of the 'classic' shape
