    Replacement Pegasus alloys

    Hello All,

    Just wondering if any of you had seen these, and whether there is anything to say about them? It says R 'Style' so therefore I assume not original and I noted a feedback comment about them not fitting -

    Probably are reps.

    What car you fitting them too? Replicas don't tend to feel as "balanced" on an S60R but might be ok on 2WD models.

    Was looking at those for my dads Volvo. They say 'style' because they're replicas (as are my current wheels, doesn't make any difference)
    1996 Olive Green 850 AWD - Follow the Project - Forged rods, 19T, big blue injectors, 960 TB, 3.25" MAF, Ostrich, 608 binary, arduino data display, active exhaust control with Focus RS tips, 320mm front brake conversion.
    1996 Nautic Blue 850 AWD - Failed its MOT, now it's a donor for the green thing.

    I run these on my r and they work fine.You will need the spigot rings though or you might get high speed vibration.They work well,weigh just the same as the originals and are very well made.Mine still look great after 2 years.You could always go to Volvo and pay over £300 for EACH wheel.

    Looking at the "not fitting" feedback that was for focus st wheels which although are 5 x 108 , fords have a centre bore of 63 mm whilst the volvo is 65 mm. My peg reps have a centre bore of 67mm so 2mm spigots were required. I've had no issues with them being replicas

    Thanks for all the replies chaps. My car is an S60R - Do I take it then that these are not quite the same spec as the original 18 inch wheels and would need spacers, or would they fit straight on?

    The car has an assortment of tyres on it (that it had on it when I bought it last October) and also the wheels are all slightly kerbed so I this looked like a good way to solve the problem of paying for refurb of the wheels and getting the tyres replaced.

    Anyone got any pics of what they look like?

    Did they need spacers to fit them?

    Thanks again - is it rude to ask what you paid? did you buy them without tyres?

    Thanks again Martyn you're a gent. If you're speaking to your Dad can you ask him if they were definitely a straight swap?
