    Swap your 16" 5-spokes for my 17" Tethys ?

    I have four (!) 17" Tethys wheels with good tyres on myS60, but the ride is tooo harsh for my local roads (Coleford, Forest of Dean, Glos.). The wheels are in good nick, with minor kerbing by previous owners.

    Anyone interested in swapping a set of 16" 5-spokes for them ? I prefer plain alloys to complex ones, and tyres with a nice lot of tread would be good, but I'm not disposed to be picky about that.

    Suggest meeting somewhere up to say 50 miles from each of us (mystery person .

    Apologies to mods in advance if I'm not yet allowed to post this - tell me and I'll take it down.

    Is the 75 post rule still being enforced?

    Personally, I'd fit 50 profile tyres and keep the look.

    Just realised Volvo 5-spokes for S60s don't exist - doh !

    Any offers of *any* 16" wheels to fit 2004 S60, with or without tyres ?

    One of my 17" Tethys now has a new tyre on it due to a pothole.

    Damm it. Only just seen this post. I have a lovely set of 16's with pretty much new tyres which are just sitting in the shed. Never mind.
    Hope your pleased with the new wheels.

    The wheels I bought wouldn't fit, so they're going back whence they came ! (We discovered too late that 2009 S60s must have 2mm smaller stubs than 2004 ones. I suspect the change occurred in 2005.)

    AAnickmac, you have PM .
