As for those Polaris on Nicks car... although not my favorite, I go all weak in the knees when I see Polaris rims on late 240 Wagons! :heart:



They are lovely wheels, but the suspension needs to be really low to make them work on a 240 IMO. I think I like Gallaxies better.

I have got a long metal bar ready.

To hit you with if you try to steal my axle!

A very nice design, but IMO just a bit too small. If they had made a 16 inch Virgo, that would be perfect for me!

Hmmm...nice car John!!

I'd love to see it on Galaxies and dropped a little....I reckon thats about the ultimate combo! :-)

I think Galaxys suit 240s better, and Polaris look perfect on pre-facelift 740s. 940s really want something more modern - from the FWD era. Comets, Propus, Tritons, Titans, or Volans.

The other ones I'd love to see on a 900 are the 18" BBS split-rims from a second-gen S40/V50..like these...

Is there a gallery anywhere with pictures of all these wheels?

By the way, I also got a real bargain on collectors car insurance for the GLT.
- Comprehensive
- Social domestic & pleasure, inc commuting
- Only £50 excess
- Breakdown cover
- Unlimited mileage
£150.00 for the year

It was through the Volvo Enthusiasts Club insurance scheme [am I allowed to mention them on here...?]

By joining VEC (£25) my premium went from £326 for 6000 miles to £150 for unlimited miles.
