I had my heart set on some 13" steels or minilites for the Volvo, but a friend of mine has offered me a set of 15" Hockenheims in good condition. Which I dismissed for being sans-dish. But....... I trial fitted one, and I quite liked it. What do ya reckon? It's kinda period?  Just need some 195/45's and spacers to give suitable stance ;D |

black the spokes and the centres, polish the rim  |

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

As much as I like dish I reckon they quite suit it, right era and all that.
Would that mean you'd have to lower it more though?

Something odd is going on here.... Despite Hockenheims and Venoms being my two least favourite wheels of all time, that Mk4 Polo on Venoms looked really good, and so does this. What have you people done to me?  |

Lower it a bit more, different tires and spacers, paint the rims a pastel colour and call it done

Have liked these Volvo's on the little rims but the hocks suit it well and look a good fit in the arch.
If friend = cheap deal do it, hocks F T touring car W

You could try BMW 4 stud which are always quite cheap (unless for an E21!), I don't know about the minimum centre bore for a volvo though.

They look great. 13s are far too small you can't lower them enough to look good.
