Guidance on wheels

Post by RobT_75 » 05 Apr 2010 04:51 pm

I've seen these wheels on ebay, which I presume are from a 400 series, and am wondering if they'd look ok on my Black 360 GLT. But more importantly, will they fit as they are or need spacers/spigots?

I'll have a punt on these then, thanks lads. I'll see how it handles on them before selling the others on as it does ride well.

ps Rob, if youre still running the large chrome Subaru wheelnuts I put on that GLT, youll have to source something shorter to get those official volvo (or any) centrecaps on.

Not sure they are on there, I'll have to look. Buying these depends on how cheap I can get the insurance (I drove it back on a daily temp cover on Saturday). Best so far is £180 from Performance Direct but I'm hoping to get cheaper than that from Lancaster as I always find they are reasonable.

[plug] I sell very cheap nuts that are small enough for canis centre caps. You won't find cheaper elsewhere. [/plug]

Lancaster were unfortunately ridiculous for me (£800 for a classic policy wtf)... so I tried Footman James.. £127 :shock: :D

Plug away John! I'd seen your post before and have kept it in mind, so if I do buy these wheels I'll be having some :)
