OEM Wheel Source S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Kenneth on  Thu Nov 15 12:22 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Aside from the Volvo dealer, is there a source for OEM wheels for a S70? I have a couple of wheels that are slightly out of round and are causing a bit of vibration when mounted on the front. I would like to eventually replace, but have limited funds and would like to maintain the stock wheels.

Thanks for any info.

Kenneth

    I've had good luck with the Wheel Collision Center, Bath PA (near Bethlehem PA, former home of Bethlehem Steel, back when there was a Bethlehem Steel.)

    I mention this because there are a lot of people in the area who are artists at metalworking. When I dropped my broken wheels off, and saw they had stuff like AMG Mercedes wheels around.

    They advertise in the BMW and Porsche publications, and BMW people are much more anal-compulsive than even Volvo people. They do a lot of business - probably most - via UPS freight.

    Mine had what they call "divots" missing (yeah!), and they were perfect when returned.

      I went to school at Lehigh. There is still a Bethlehem Steel, they just moved operations to Gary, Indiana area. At least that was the case when I graduated half a dozen or so years ago.

    instead of replacing them, send them out to a wheel repair/refinishing place and have them redone...a friend who owns a bodyshop sends all of his out and for $125/wheel, they come back in a day redone to factory spec for runout and totally refinished...if you want to buy, try erie volvo or aaarims.com
