The new wheels for the 850

They look stunning! Suit the car perfectly

**si850r** · Monday 1st August 2011, 19:34

totally agree...nicer than volans by far....

Nice, but well pricey!

Certainly one of the nicest wheels to be graced with a Volvo badge, also probably one of the rarer... Good luck finding a genuine set in good condition which aren't going to cost the earth to buy. I still think they are more at home on the 700/900 series cars and dare I say it not a match for Volan or Titan wheels on an 850.

Very nice mate. Reminds me of the wheels they used to put on Mercedes AMG models back in the late 90's (probably shouldn't mention that round here!)

I think they look absolutely ****, you should def' get them off ASAP and I'll weigh them in for scrap for you....

I've looked on the Eiker site but I'm struggling with the translation? Are the E1 rims 1500e each?or fir a set of 4?

**t5 pete** · Friday 5th August 2011, 08:54

I think that's each

**antz** · Friday 5th August 2011, 09:04

As Pete says I think thats per wheel which I worked out at £800 for a set of four. But then theres shipping and import tax at this end on top of that. Then youll ened tyres and wheel nuts.

NOT CHEAP! But definately worth it if you can afford it.

i think they would look better on my car really and keep the wheels you have already mate and sell the polaris to me lol

**nobananas** · Friday 5th August 2011, 23:03

There's a nice silver V70R running round my way with a set of scruffy 16 inch Polaris's on. I keep trying to collar the old bloke who owns it into letting me have them !

**t5 pete** · Friday 5th August 2011, 23:04

Don't know for sure, they look nigh on identical, I may have the size wrong of course as I can't quite make it out as I'm running along side shouting at the owner !

theres a guy local to me who drives a dark red 940 with some really peeling manky galaxies on it. Never manage to catch him but i doubt he would sell me the wheels without buying the whole car =(

I see it most days as Im going to work.
