I need some new (used) wheels for my 1995 855 t5-r. I took the original 17" Volans off years ago due to bending too many rims. Just had my winter(steel) wheels switched to my summer(borbet) and the mechanic said 3 out of 4 of these are bent. Guess I am a pothole magnet! It is really riding bad now. This is my dog car and I have had it for 15yrs and am attached to it.


What OEM 16" Volvo wheels will fit this car? Will the Columba, Persus or any others work? Trying to shop ebay, forums, Craiglist to find a deal.

I am really happy I haven't bent any of the Pegasus on my 2007 V70R. They must be a harder metal because my town certainly hasn't been fixing the roads :)

Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks for letting me post. I have decided to trade the car in on a VW sportwagen TDI. Woops, there goes my Volvo loyalty after all these years. The mpg can't be beat on the VW though.

I've got 16" Comets from a T5 on my 850R...

Would like to find a nice set of Volan's one day.
