Does your 480 have tracking-problems? Does your car pull to one side? Or is your steering wheel vibrating? Read the posts in this category to find out what's going on.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is naughty to post in two sections but I thought I'd pop my wheel troubles here too just incase someone can help me.
Basically I've just got some great Vesa wheels that were originally fitted to the 480GT for my turbo but no centre caps. Volvo don't stock them anymore!
Does anyone know if old Volvo stock has been sold elsewhere.
In the unlikely event of someone having a set, please see my original posting in Parts wanted.

Got some but had to pay £15/wheel. Rather extortionate but I suppose there were only ever 250 sets brought into the country so I was the captive market due to their rarity.
All set, will install on car tommorow. Out of pocket but happy (a common 480 problem).

Sorry, I've bought the last seven a few months ago. They came from like seven different country's in Europe, I had to wait for more then two months to have all seven complete!
But you can find the Vesa centre caps on a few other types of original Volvo wheels like Pollux and Atlas.
