dont think so. apparently they were bought from a jag dealer for $1400

the guy I got them off of just wanted the snows off them and could not use the rims. so he was only recouping the cost a little.

on that note. They have a little rash on every rim, but otherwise in good shape.

they make them in 17 as well i believe. They are Ronal R38's

and somebody has them on their 245 on TB, its in his sig, but i dont recall his name.

yeah that's the one.

my car looks similar, just not nearly as nice. I think his rims are lower offset, and the 17s.
Virgo centers are just a little too big :(

The Volvo centers (virgo, FWD black with text, 'new' graphite metallic Iron symbol)are just a bit bigger than the most common universal size.
The only one that is close is the early First Gen s40. P/n 30638643.
That's what I have in my Taurus 16" wheels and my Lincoln LS Final Edition/Sportpack 17's. The wheels do have to be modified deeper down in the center (carbide bits in a drywall cut out tool run through a router control), and the caps need about 1mm taken off the cirumference, but they can be made to work as factory- popping out for balancing etc.
I think this is "known" on T-bricks and Volvo Speed or whatever the FWD one is, but I got the idea browsing Ebay back in the day, where someone listed a set of Volvo OE caps that didn't fit what they had picked them up at the wreckers for.
