hausser rims

Hi everybody,

Could anybody please tell me the brand of the original rims, which are fitted with the hausser kit on these pictures? And are they really a part of the kit or did they just fit them because they thought it looked nice?

Kind regards,

Philip[/url][/code]

Hi Phillip and welcome to this great forum!

The wheels fitted to this 480 are called Vega.

They are still available from Volvo and are a 16 inch wheel.

Steve.

Hi,

Thanks for the warm welcome

I think your talking about the wrong rims, I meen the rims fitted under the white car with the hausserkit, with the black center.

Ciao Philip

They are a deep dish aftermarket rim which isnt a Volvo one I suspect...

I know, however I was wondering if they really are provided in combination with the hausserkit or not, as I have a hausser kit but donÂ´t have those rims...

Those wheels are from BBS !!

, and are 15 inch.

Sold out at BBS !, if you want them, search at ebay for RS wheels which fit on the Golf or a old BMW 3-series with 4 *100

But donÂ´t get a shock when you see the prices for a good set...........

IÂ´ve found these not to far away from here, but IÂ´m not sure if I want to buy them as I didnÂ´t know if they are the same as those fitted originaly with the hausser kit. They Are dirty on the photo but are in good nick, the proper size and not to expensive (â‚¬150,-).....

What should I do

??? Start searching for bbs rims or are these the same? I assume these rims have hubcaps that look like the bbs ones, but IÂ´m not 100% sure....

Dont want to upset anyone but i dont think they are either i saw a set on a merc ages ago and they said they where made by Cartarter (or something brain dead cant remember) rims. Either way they are probably not produced anymore and are dead expensive.

Nope, no RH wheels, look the same but are different ! I think AEZ or ATS.

But that wheel on the pic is a alloy which was sold with the Kit by the company Hausser (now itÂ´s a Toyota dealer

)

So if it has the Size 7J 15 H2, buy them and restore.....

Hi Steve, I doubt that volvo ever sold 16 inch wheels for the 480.
Biggest size was 15 inch : Cetus, Taurus, Vesa (multi spoke wheel) and another wheel I cant remember the name of it.
A berlin member knows it, he has them on his Hausser 480.

Yes it is the same size, and they donÂ´t need much restoring as they are extremely dirty but in good condition.... IÂ´ll think IÂ´ll buy them.

Thanks for the replies!

These are not! Hausser alloys !

This nice set of wheels was sold in Germany as a original Volvo wheel.

7J15, and the biggest tire had the size 215/40

Nice 360, the handling is hot. Put a B230FT from a 740 Turbo in it and the car burns everything.......

i think those rims suit the 480 much better than the 360. somebody part ex them for some 22" chrome alloys with spinners

Chesh, can i steal your avatar, it cracks me up and we need to see it more

Yes your quite right, my mate did say they were stamped volvo, but the only reference we could find to them was the hausser picture.

A 740 turbo engine is in the works for that saloon once all traces of rust have been banished from the shell.

Murf, you can steal my avatar, i don't mind, i don't post here too much anymore after having sold on my 480's. I keep coming back for a read though when ever i have dark thoughts of buying another 480 for some economical daily use.
