    Thumbs up Spare set of wheels (want to borrow)

    Hi all

    Has anyone got a set of wheels that I could borrow to roll about on, whilst I get mine reconned ?

    Thought I'd ask before I am tempted to get a dodgy set from Ebay !

    Thanks

    Yes.
    I've got a new set waiting to be fitted, so once I've done that next weekend, the current set (16", 215/55, Goodyear Eagles) will be available if you should wish.
    I was only going to put them up on Ebay anyway.
    You'll have to come down to the seaside to pick them up, though. I wouldn't mind hearing about your 19T at the same time.

    They're grubby but otherwise good condition, cop-spec wheels from a 2001 V70.

    Chris, perhaps you could take them and then put them up on Ebay when you're done with them.

    Sounds good . . . only one problem . . . I forgot I can't fit a set of wheels into the C70 to save my life !

    Only other alternative is if I came to you, swapped the wheels, got someone local to you to recon my wheels, then I come back and swap them over ?!?!

    I need to rethink my plans.

    Cheers for the offer though !

    That's too funny!!!

    Must be the only car Volvo ever made that can't fit a set of its own wheels inside!

    Get a roof-rack?

    What are you talking about. C70 has the boot the size of a small county! If not put a sheet over the back seat and stick 2 of them there!

    God you people drive me spare!! LOL!!!

    Where are you Chris? ... I've got a set of 16"s off mine that are available ... all with good legal tyres ... if you want to save a trip to the south coast

    Get my interior dirty ?! never !

    Yes, it can be done, like Dave said, with a few covers !

    My ETS has failed on me today, so the alloy plans are on the back burner again !
