Right heres the thing, im finding it really hard to find a set of decent wheels for my 855 T5 Estate.

I have 17"s on it at the minute but one is defo buckled :mad: The guy i bought them off swears they were all straight when i bought them but i havent hit anything, to cut a long story short i payed £150 for them + my 16" Persus Alloys with nearly new tyres on. Which now i have just found on Fleabay for £250 > http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLVO-S70-V70-C70-850-960-S80-S60-T5-16-ALLOY-WHEELS_W0QQitemZ290252114313QQcmdZViewItem?hash=it em290252114313&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A3&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14.l1318. He would not give me my money back the day after i got them.

So!.............. now i need some more 17"s with no tyres, but heres the killer i only have £150 to get some.

Ive checked Fleabay for 3 weeks and there are loads of 5 stud 17"s but they are all from different makes i.e. Vauxhall, ford Mondeo Mk 3, etc etc.

Id rather 17"s to be honest as the tyres i have are good so wouldnt have to fork out for more, Readview i know you have the Tethys but i know you want £250 which is just out my ball park :frown:.

So what i need is for some kind person to locate me some PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
or come up with a list of other manufacturers wheels that will go on the 855.

Thanks Guys and Gals!

i think that is the bore of the centre bit in the middle or it wont go over the disc or can be to big as a friend of mione found out and the wheel worked its way loose

Oh, new shape Renault 5 studs are shown as 5x108 PCD, center bore 60.1 and offset of 35-45 so Jonno is correct. If you get wheels with a smaller center bore you could have them machined out to fit, if you get ones with a larger center bore you should be able to get spigot rings to make them fit.

T.C. i really like the Tethys, buy a little out my price range, so anything 17" that looks good on an 855 would be appreciated.
