Hi
I drive a 1979 244 GL and it has the stock steel wheels with the hubcaps... i was wanting to buy the stock volvo alloys that i think were used on the GLE and the 242 GT. Im assuming there is no problem with compatibility. But my problem is trying to find them in Melbourne Australia... does anyone have any ideas on where i should look and how much i should be expecting to pay?
Also i was wondering if there were any places i could go for used volvo spare parts? I was thinking of rear head rests.

Thanks

Deepan

Deepan,

there's a place up here in Brisbane called Swedish Auto Spares. Their web address is www.swedishautospares.com Last time I was there a few weeks ago they had about 3 sets of these wheels. Not sure how much they charge for these but I bought a set of 4 Volvo 760 Draco alloys for about $350 a couple of years ago.

Hope this helps.

Hi

The wheeels you talk about are called virgos these are the 15inch 5 spoke type they can be bought for around $200 to $500 at private sales or $500+ at wrecking yards look through the trading post type papers go to wrecking yards go to this Aussie Messageboard there you can be in contact with more people from Melbourne. Below I have attached a picture of the virgo wheels
