Hi, folks. Just wanted to spread the word....

I just got my Feb. IPD newsletter -- they're now selling 'new' (take that, eBay!) alloys, all with +20mm offset (perfect for 240's, and good for wider alloys on 700's and 900's) in three sizes:
7x15"
7x16" and
8x17"
Prices are from $118 to $148 per wheel, which is a fraction of the ~$500 that Volvo asks for their's.

Hey, given that offset, they may be good for 140's and early 164's, too, which have 40mm offsets; the lesser offset of these wheels keeps the wheels from encroaching too far inboard and hitting suspension and inner fender pieces, right?

eBay is still better on prices, but they're you're buying 'used' and you do risk being stuck with bent wheels.

Have fun, all.
