Whilst at my local Volvo indy, he showed me these wheels which I've bought for £120 with tyres. OK, they need a major refurb, but they're going on the C70 which already has the blue steering lock stops on, so is ready for these.

What are you going to do with your old wheels?

I really want a spare set TBH, as I'm thinking of a set of Winter tyres later this year. I also need a spare set for when I get the Comets on the R refurbed.

Cool, the Nebs should look good in the right colour. ;)

Personally, with the C70 being black, I'm thinking polished silver. What do you think?

They are a really nice wheel, on a dark car i'd refurb them in bright silver. quite fancy a set myself once everything else on my car is sorted. You got a bargain there

I think I have got a bargain TBH. The car was broken so I think he's just glad to get rid of the wheels TBH. They are nice wheels but hard to wash, as I had them on a D5 that I previously owned.

Absolute bargain, if they were immaculate they'd be £400-£500

The tyres have some life left in them as well. The only down side is the reduced turning circle, but then it's not that good before the blue lock stops anyway.
