Hi Alex,

I haven't used them, but Wheels America does look reputable. I'd rather get refurbished wheels from someone like them than buy used ones privately. Lots of places refinish allows, grinding down the curb rash and polishing out the scratches, but few actually straighten them. There are no longer any rim straighteners in my region -the last of them left when the local race track shut down.

Between potholes and curbs, alloys are often no longer perfectly true, especially those with few spokes and offset spokes. It can be difficult to spot unless you mount them and use a dial micrometer against both bead surfaces to check the Volvo specs. The other year I replaced the tires on both my 940s at the same time and carefully checked each rim with the tires off (also touched them up and cleaned them up so no more bead leaks). Only two of the eight 10-spoke stock alloys were within spec, most were obviously pothole damaged. I managed to carefully beat five back within spec (curved end 2x4 and hand sledge) and got the sixth fairly close before deciding to back off in case I cracked it. I then indexed the rims for the low spot so the tire shop could properly match them to the balance mark on the tires (most, but not all tires have a dot). If you have your tires load force balanced then the shop can do an even better job of matching the tire alignment on the wheel.

As for hubcaps, IPD seems to have a decent selection of aftermarket ones and you can often find used OE ones on eBay.
