I have a 67 wagon and had a 71 1800E parts car available. I swapped the front wheel hubs and calipers and swapped in the 1800E rear axle. This requires some welding mods - but at ~$100.00 it's way cheaper than $155/wheel. This changes your bolt pattern and allows you to use ANY of the later wheels - all 240 740, and 940 alloy wheels, the later 1800 and 140 wheels too.

It requires that re-plumb your brakes too, but a dual-triangular brake system is a worthwhile upgrade.

I presently have 1800ES/140 Steel wheels on my 122S Hubcap choices are a bit limited (just two styles)...


Those are the 140 "saucer" style hubcaps. Still 100% volvo


My 220 is undergoing a paint job and it's partially disassembled, so please forgive its "unkempt" appearance. I only moved it out of the garage to turn it around.
