I'm wanting to refurb the original alloys on my S60 but due to wanting to do a good job which will take a few days wanted to see if anyone had some wheels they could lend me - even if its just one and I do one wheel at a time.
Why does this have stupid space saver spare - my BMW has 5 full size alloys!

Why not use your spare and refurb one wheel at a time?

S60 offset is 49mm - V70 is 43mm

PCD and Centre bore are the same, now all we need is someone to tell us if they will be any good to use.

PM me if they are.

I think you can get away with 50mph on the motorway, that is if you don't mind the old Grannies and the lorries overtaking you.... :D

they are designed for temporary emergency use only, not used on the car while refurbing alloys

They look really good. If the car was lowered slightly, they would go really well.

cars staying at that height - I would love to lower it but where I park at work is down a horribley rutted lane and my BMW would ground out.

I'll be behaving with those wheels in same way I do with mine as I dont want to change tyres to soon
