Default 4 Virgos available - collection from Edinburgh

Hi,

I have 4 Virgos available - see my post in Sales.

I also have a set on my 240, I have just fitted 205/65/R15 tyres. They maintain the rolling radius, look good, are available from a number of manufacturers, and are slightly wider than the rims - so protect against kerbing.

Cheers

Virgos really are the DB's on a 240, but don't forget the Corona alloys which are 14" so a real straight swop for you. Downside is the limited choice these days of 14" rubber.

I imagine DB stands for the dogs testicles ha ha.

Virgos will go straight on no problem. You will need the correct wheel nuts so I suggest you look on eBay to buy some the right size. DO NOT USE YOUR STANDARD STEEL WHEEL NUTS. Centre caps are purely for looks and you can run without them but for the virgos to look their best you want them. Again these can be bought off ebay but expect to pay up to £50 for a set of 4 as most people lose them.

Default Long wheel nuts for Virgos

http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com

Have Chrome wheel nuts available for 200 series. Ref PFV905355

Not the highest quality items I've ever bought. But they are still holding the wheels onto my 240.

Cheers
