I had been looking at a set of 20" Jag wheels, I don't want to modify this car structurally as they were 9j and 255 tyre width, so I abandoned that idea.
I Al so limiting my options to exclude multispoke a like Tritons and other BBS style wheels.... So anyone got any options from EBay/other forums please let me know...? Attach links.
If I stay 16"s I've already got two options:
I could fit my white T5 wheels possibly?
I could get the original wheels re coated in white?
If I went bigger I could fit a variety of styles.. Just need ideas.

Pegs odosy or how ever they are spelt

Cheers.. It's finding a set at the moment which can be difficult, cos I don't trawl all the forums even though I have accounts with most of them. Basically I'm hoping someone else will do the hard work for me.. Just like the "Oracle" Smithy found me a set of 17"s for the V40.

Failing that I have a nice set of titans for sale with new tyres
Post 762430 by JUDGENINJA on 2015-03-05 23:31:40
Yep they're the sort I might go for.. Can't decide if I want comfort (16/17") or looks (18/19/20")...

I put 17 steelies on mine, no spacers
Post 762437 by AcidicDavey on 2015-03-06 00:09:14
Honestly, nebs.
Never seen a set on a 960 but think they'd look great, just not white please :)

Seen Nebulas, I'm not sure about them.
Been looking at Ixion, but unless I put an offer in at £1000 it looks like I've got to buy one at a time. Width of 8J and Offset at 49 means I need spacers??

Post 762591 by AcidicDavey on 2015-03-06 20:02:16
Titans would look good ;)

I fitted the jag wheels 19"x9.5" on my 940 that I previously had on my v70. Rears just about fit with a 9mm spacer, fronts were way off, touching the shock absorber before they were flush with the hub. And also sticking outside of the wheel arch.
So in the end I just settled with a set of 17"x7" steelies from a Citroen c6 and running 32mm spacers all round. Handles sweet[ATTACH=CONFIG]28299[/ATTACH]

Do I spot an XJS in the garage?
Jealous, much!

I think you do :)
Cracking looking 940 btw.

A proper one too, with the buttress lights from the looks of it.
We need pics of this please. Especially of the insanity of the V12 ;)

Yes well spotted!!! 1989 5.3 v12 convertible

Balls to standard Volvo wheels they've all been done to death, go for a big staggered set of Borbet A's or if you can find some, Turbovecs!
Post 762715 by t5 pete on 2015-03-07 11:34:47
They would look great

do you know whats recommended for spacers?
Any chance of a trial fit once the 960 comes back?
Post 762809 by AcidicDavey on 2015-03-07 20:44:53
Ok, fair does, the originals actually look quite good white.
I'd say go for it, at least until some wheels you want are available?
Post 762813 by JUDGENINJA on 2015-03-07 20:55:15
Ixion .... MIGHT JUST BE WORTH IT....

Anyone know if I'm going to have clearance issues fitting 8J wheels under the arches..I need to decide now whilst the cars in the bodyshop if they need to roll arches..
Post 765060 by Ettienne on 2015-03-23 20:01:59
Be fine 8.5j is getting close on the back, I run 7j loads of clearance

Thanks... I'm off to buy a set of wheel that cost more than the car!!'

I've bought cars for the wheels in the past ;)
But I did put my tritons against my 740 and thought they looked very suited because of their sharp angular design....

Post 765134 by JUDGENINJA on 2015-03-24 14:55:05
Not saying at the moment... Cars still being sprayed.....
Plus after my debacle of the Mitsubushi wheels I'd better make these a success before I post.

No probs I have no tyre on the one I have but it will be at least 25mm spacer

Not Happy, just spent 4hrs in Bracknell (as if that ain't bad enough) waiting for Mr Wheels to contact me back for my new wheels.... I heard Nothing, so I've had to come home empty handed.

And the fact that they're mine now, lol ;)
They may end up going back on it if I move the 480 on.
Needs lowering a little first though. Got my eye on a set of Bilsteins from PFV when funds allow, should sort the wallowing a little ;)

I do like that style, but would want them in 18"+.
Anyway had message back, like an idiot I didn't read the advert properly.... His mobile number was written clearly in the advert...doh!!! Try again tomorrow..
Post 766133 by The White Knight on 2015-03-30 13:31:39
Those Tritons look stunning!
Encouraged me to go out to the garage and give mine some wheel sealer - I've been putting it off for ages:

I like the look of tritons on other peoples cars, but I can't be bothered with the cleaning. My V70 had a set when I had it. After having them refurbed and new tyres £800+ they got sold for £500...

Er you are the one paying the money so nothing wrong with expecting a bit of service/communication

I'll be popping my ixion 19 on eBay at some point.
