How much for tauruses? Maybe I'd pick them next summer if you don't sell them before.

I'll post a pic soon. It has a crack in one rim and I think it can't be fixed. Cos If'll take the tire off it might come loose or start leaking. At the moment it holds air. But I'll post a pic and I even yght still have them in the summer of 2007

480 wheels

Re the pics of the original volvo wheels. I was in a breakers yard today and noticed two of the same style on a 460. They seemed to be in really good condition. If anyone needs a replacement, please pm me and I'll pass on the info - bear in mind that they are in Co. Antrim, Norn Iron (as they say over here!)

Oh, & some bikes... & wife doesn't understand...
