do you know the weight per wheel of them just out of interest?

you said £500+VAT would be the lowest you'd go - are you still looking to offload them, I.d be tempted but would have to be a good price as just bought some furniture for the house on my CC.

you said they were recon, could you email me the hi-res versions of the photos please?

my email is on the contact page of my business website - http://www.benjamincook.co.uk

Cheers

just a point... how come these are only for the smaller volvos when both the latest t5 V50 and D4 (4 cylinder ford engine) are both heavier than my D5 S60? pmsl

he means the ones with the p1 chassis (c30,s40,v50 and c70), they have a different offset to the wheels designed for the p2 chassis (every thing else).
they i dont know if on the p2 chassis they will have any clearance issues.

simple... more crash protection and it's an estate which adds weight - stiffer more modern design of Ncap 5 car are usually heavier.

main thing is the offset - spacers can correct that but open up other cans of worms

lol, well it'd have to be spacers if i wanted them as they'd be to clear some brembos i'm getting

IPD do some adapters and stuff - you might be as well to have a snozzle on their website

thanks, ill try n find them but i can probably get spacers alot cheaper in the uk.alex

While the offset is an issue; a bigger issue is the bore. It is smaller on the s40/v50 alloys and would require machining to fit an s60.

you'll need hub rings or adapters AND spacers - they do a different job.

What's the bore size on an S60? I thought it was the S40 that was bigger (63.4) and the S60 was 61.7 or similar?

apparently the s60 hub is 65.1mm? might take wheel off and measure in a minute lol!

anyway, if the spacer was say 15mm thick then it would be wider than the hub sticks out infront of the face of the centre of the disc so hence would mean theres no hub diametre to contend with, i can always machine some with a "hub diametre" sticking out from the spacer to act as a hub which would be the same as the S40/C30 hub dia....
see i have thought about this mua ha ha!
