I've got a set of factory option BBS wheels for my C70, they own but the PO hit a pothole with one of them so I need to get it fixed or replaced ($$$). A full set usually goes for ~1200$ or so.



And I just got this set of ATS wheels for my Volvo 245. These were only offered as options on the P1800 and the first year of production of the 240, and they were not very popular when new, As such they are pretty hard to find. My examples are kind of rough but have been professionally cleaned up and powdercoated, and they fit the disheveled look of my project anyway. I love them a lot and cannot wait to get them on the car proper. They are the lightest wheels Volvo has ever offered on any of their cars, coming in at only 13.1lbs each, lighter than even the BBS wheels that my step-mom's 1996 Miata M-Edition came with. I got these for an incredibly good price, the only other full set I've ever seen (admittedly in better condition, and with a more common bolt pattern) were priced around 1100$ (!).

Hemming's published an article about these wheels a few years back actually.

Those Enkeis look really good, and I'm not generally a fan of split-spoke 5s. Perfect backspacing.

I went on alibaba and found this.


Apparently they'll make you just about anything you want. If you pay them extra they'll even make sure they don't explode :shrug:

I saw a new Civic sitting on some wheels that looked very similar to these yesterday, with a nice drop. It looked good.
