I think they would look very good. If you get them post some pics so we can all drool over your Volvo.

Humm. I like the black powder coat idea. I'll have to see what this place has in stock. Trying not to put too much cash into wheels as I don't have a garage and I wouldn't say I live in the best of neighborhoods.

Hopefully this place will have an extra wheel they can put on to see how it looks before I bite.

Took a drive over to the tire shop to look at the wheels above. They didn't have the exact model in stock but had similar item. After seeing the wheel in person I really did not like the color.

Syko, or anyone

Do you think one of these 17" wheels would fit a 960? Also, anyone know the factory wheel offset for the 960? I cannot get an accurate answer searching the Internet. The best I have found is 35-42mm.

Nebula/Pegasus Replicas w/ 43mm offset

IPD also has these wheels and claim they will fit a 960. If you look the wheel offset though, its only 20mm.

Pegasus Replica w/ 20mm offset

I find the whole wheel size thing very confusing.

i know my 740 is a 20mm standard offset for the 185 wide tyres, you can fit 215's on the back of my 740 and 205's on the front with a 25mm offset ... not 100% sure hat the 9 series is the same, but it will be very close if it isnt i would have gathered.

If you have the time google somethign like measuring wheel offset. i did this and there were detailed instructions on how to do it. i didnt have time to try them out, but i am sure you can do it on your spare tyre if it isnt a space saver.

Been playing around a bunch and have decided on Pegasus replicas. Can get them in 17" at 20mm offset, or 18" at 43mm. Will fit either way I believe.

The Pegasus wheels coming from iPd will be Hyper-Black. Waiting to see a picture of one. There is another place that has them in Titanium and look really nice. Big cost difference however. The iPd's are much cheaper.

Bright Silver

Titanium Silver

Never though about a pimp-ride 960. I think the Nebs would look good for that :)
