The Quest to Stance a Volvo

[JVC]

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

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.

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.

So eBay was your answer

I know that car. Dude used to have a Focus and I knew of him from the Focus Community. I remember he had those redone at RotiForm.

Which ones?!

Yeah, the guy with the wagon had them redone at Rotiform, definitely not paying that much to have mine re-done. I was planning to do it all myself, but I have to admit, I got a pretty darn good offer on a full refinish... Just trying to decide if it's worth it to have them done, or whether I should save the money and just get them done at a slower pace.

Had a friend of mine drive my car and I took some rollers today, you know, the usual.

Bang Bang!
