The Quest to Stance a Volvo

Put those on or you're a biatch

[ryanjblajda]

most likely.

they look nice. are they 2 piece or 3 piece? if they are 2 piece i think thats why they were easy. I've heard the 3 pieces are hard to split.

2 piece. That might be part of it.

Found another Volvo member who had his RK-II refinished in a root beer finish, not sure I'm a fan of a dark color, but at the same time I found some pictures of the same wheels on a C30 in lighter colors that make the wheels look better.









Haven't decided what I'm going to do with these, but I really like the white, I got started on one whel today.

Picked up a triple square 8mm bit on my way home from class to take the wheels apart.







After hearing about how hard it is to split wheels sometimes I was surprised these were so easy. I pulled all the bolts easily with just a ratchet, then turned the wheel face down on some carpet and propped the sides of the wheel up on some 2x4 then just stepped on the back of the wheel and the faces popped right out.

Might split the other 4 tonight, just gotta decide what/how to refinish them and if I decide to sell or keep these.

Bought another set of wheels today... this time they're in my bolt pattern.

17x8 ET35 5x108



and so my Dad doesn't kill me for bringing home ANOTHER set of wheels...



What he doesn't know can't hurt him... and its not like he's been using the space under our deck recently.

My list lengthens
17x8 Lensos on the car
16x7 Steelies with huge tires
17x8 Mille Miglias (White)
18x8.5 Magical Secret Not so Secret wheels
17x8 BBS RK II

You want him to put 20s on his Volvolkswagen?

Good god no, i think 18s look best, maybe 19.., we'll see what he does...

They come from 18x8 to 20x9 in different styles, you can do a custom offset as i know.

I work at a volvodealer for 4 yrs now and never saw a bend one, scratched as hell

yea but never bend, even the ones from their racecar.

Hmm, well they don't have anything wider than 8 in 18", the amount Of money I would spend on those is way more than I would want to spend on such a bland design wheel. I'm gonna stick with the wheels I'm working on and of course keep my eyes open for something else in the near future.

Yeah, I've seen the Heico Volutions a few times, the sizing is weak, offsets and widths are weak too. Plus, from the few people I know who have them they say they're super soft and are very likely to get bent. Not a good combo for my intent.

[OrangeBlue]

Car looks real good!

Have you thought about these rims?

[JVC]

I was able to get them off with a screwdriver because they weren't snugged down. Probably going to find a different bolt to use for the long run if I can't find the tool.

[Dwob]

cant find one right now, but search for an OZ centercap key. i had futuras and they use the same tool
