Wanted single VESA alloy

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

Wanted single VESA alloy

Post by blanki1981 » Tue Feb 19, 2013 11:31 am

Hi all,

I'm looking for a VESA alloy for the GT that i bought at the end of last year. Unfortunately both the front wheels had rim damage one really badly, although neither have proved an MOT failure, so far! I know the VESA's are rare but I'd like to keep it original rather than replace all the wheels with a different type if i can.

I'm looking to replace at least the bad one or maybe both if anyone has 2 spares, I don't need the centre caps or tyres.

Alternativley does anyone know if a bent rim can be repaired/knocked back into shape i've seen mixed opinions on the internet.

thanks

Ian

Hi, I have a set consisting of 3 in fair condition and one that I started to rub down . Another party was interested but I think they may have changed their mind .I will let you know if they are for sale after the weekend to give them a chance to confirm .Have a lot of other spare parts as well .

Hi Kev

Thanks, would you consider splitting them or are you looking to sell them as a set?

cheers
