Default 16" Persus Alloy Wheels

Right, as I've now fitted a set of Volans to my 850, these are no long required.

The tyres are sadly all a bit useless. They're 205/50 R16, but all on the wear bars, or pretty much on them.

The wheels themselves aren't in bad condition. There is light scuffing on the rim edges, and a couple of bigger scrapes, but they are a lot better than some I've seen.

Few pictures:









Now, if I'm honest, I just have no idea what these are worth. I'm new to this whole Volvo business, so I have absolutely no clue. I'm going to say £100 as a total and completely random guess. That might be a million miles out, but I simply don't know, so feel free to advise me, and I'm more than open to offers, as they're only taking up space.

Located in Stafford, ST16, collection only unless you wish to arrange your own courier.

Thanks

Yes indeed! Only partly though, as I hail from Norfolk really, I've just come here to be a studious type.

I thought I was the only one! I can usually be found in the vacinity of the university and live just off Beaconside, so I'm in that area for the most part

Im about 2 mins from the Uni so if you see a blue 740 estate around, give us a flash, will probably be me

I'm going to apply the white go faster stripes to my new 740 at the weekend! I had the stripes on my old 740 estate for our annual trip to le mans before i crashed it!

My mate lives just off beaconside too, just opposite the technology park, so you might see me parked up around there too.

Ah right, not far from me really then. I was in one of the ex-MOD houses on beaconside up until June, but I'm now just off Sandon Road instead. Did my work placement on the technology park actually. You'll probably see me driving around the area at some point I'm sure!

Might have been a good idea to give the wheels a clean before posting photos

Hi there,

Are the wheels still available please? I'm very interested in them! My V70 AWD has Persus alloys and they are all pretty scabby,so a spare set would be very useful while I get mine blasted and painted.

I'm happy to pay your asking price if so.

All the best,

Gary H
