If you go to th clubs website, then Volvo 480 --> Accessories --> Wheels you will find all rims that were available for the 480 ;) (must be logged in on the website to see them).

Thanks guys, I've found them. They remind me of the wheels that used to be on sports cars in the 60's and 70's (you are all probably to young to remember) ;)

Yes, and on the Austin Healey 3000 and the Jag XK120. Went out with a guy once just because he had an Austin Healey.
