Wheels

The volvo 480 cabrio was first shown with the standard 5 spoke wheel then they showed it with a sort of wheelcovers with tiny round holes in it, but is was also shown with nice 5 spoke (15" or 16") wheel which isn't a standard volvo 480 wheel. Do someone know what wheel that was?

Do you have a picture of the one you mean?

I was looking on the internet didn't found them. I saw 2 pictures in a copied book with English motormagazine prints on the 480

I have a knack for finding stuff on the net.

It would seem you have one

If this is the one, then I'm sorry, I don't know the name

Looks alot like Pollux or Vega, both can found here. But this one looks a bit wider than Pollux and Vega

Hope this helps

they do look good though, they have a sportier look.

I like the wheels that look like a vegetable cutter wheel best

I fear it has never been in to production

ThatÂ´s the VEGA wheel, but that center cover was never sold !

Or they took the cover from the Taurus wheels
