What Are These?

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

i would leave this one alone due to the flat spot on the outside of the rim at the top.

These are canis wheels if my memory serves me right. They do come up every now and then

I'd spotted it on eBay before seeing this post, and was also thinking it'd be nice to replace my space-saver with, so I had 5 Canis alloys. I won't bother now, either! :D

The company selling them is where I get my 480 serviced, and I can say with out a doubt he is a very honest bloke.

If you want them, perhaps give him a ring and ask about the flatspot. It might just be a trick of the light in the pic?
That's my car up there, see?
