Are available from our wheel wholesale supply house. Typical price shipped DHL to your door:
16- $145-ish ea plus GST
17- $165-ish
18- $190-ish

Haven't checked how that compares to IPD, etc. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

All are 7.5" with a 43mm offset

Cheap. IPD's are $148/17" and $178/18". With exchange and shipping that's quite a bit more.

Thanks, Ian. Do they have other Volvo replica wheels to look at? Anything for RWD cars?

However....IPD's are 20 or 25mm offset. No need for spacers to run them on our RWD antiques...

Same thing, basically, except that they can also be had in FWD offsets. I'm wondering if Ian's wheel place can also get the RWD ones, or the VMS 18x8 FWD ones IPD sells.

Yeah, they offer them for both FWD and RWD...the RWD ones only come in 17". If the RWD ones were available cheaper that would be cool.

Nope, no RWD.

They also list something that looks almost like this: http://www.lwnt.com/custom/ace-alloy/Zeus-Chrome.shtml

minus the chrome- ie they are silver painted. There's an 17x7.5 (195-ish) or 18x8 ($240ish) both with a 40mm offset.

I've just gone back to the 16's for summer (225/55r16) from the 17's I have for winter (245/45r17), and it's an interesting contrast, ride and steering response-wise. Hard to explain. The 17's ( http://classifieds.lskoncepts.com/uploa ... ls_001.jpg ) sure look nicer... I kind of have to admit that my aesthetic is permanently skewed to the large size now...

Have you got a link to a catalogue for browsing purposes, Ian?

A set of those would look pretty sweet on the 122 and I happen to have the right spacer already. Too bad I'm strapped for $$.
