my very long search is over

[t5 pete]

I have finally found a set of the rocking horse **** polaris wheels am im over the moon with them.
Ive always wanted a set since first getting the internet and seeing them on a 240 and about 11yrs later ive got them from a nice bloke in cumbria it was well worth the long trip.
Heres some pics there off to be fully refurbed next month so ill update the pics.



Heres what they look like on a 240

Now those are RARE wheels, hardly seen those before anywhere. Nice one Pete.

[Tomcat]

Nice find Pete, glad you finally managed to get a set.

[t5 pete]

Yeah there really rare i dont think theres is many sets of them in the uk as a lot of them are the replicas and not genuine ones

[p fandango]

is it me or does the second one from the left look different, look at the centre around the wheel nuts. Looks more like a Sparoc MO

Think Pedro means Sparco....

[t5 pete]

Youve lost me pedro there all volvo wheels lol

[t5 pete]

[p fandango]

Think Pedro means Sparco....

i knew what i meant lol

[p fandango]

Youve lost me pedro there all volvo wheels lol

the white(ish) wheel has quite a deep recess around the wheel nut holes as if its meant to have a centre cap, while the others only taper down slow & quite flat

[Tomcat]

i knew what i meant lol

Glad you did,lol...

I think Pete that's it's just because the centre of the second wheel has been sanded it makes it look like the cenre part is stepped down rather than dished in, it's just an optical illusion.

[t5 pete]

I think i get what you mean but it must be a affect of the white primer and where he has rubed them down which make them look different to you.

All the same wheels, as pete says, I started, to try on clean one wheel up with the thought of following a thread on doing the wheels yourself, but after starting I decided to get them done by a professional, then decided to sell, and pete bought them, but all are genuine Polaris's and pete will confirm this.

yeh, from the picture tho the centre does look different, as TC says it must be just the angle etc
