Finding more of these rims is the challenging part...

If you want something close, Volvo has done similar looking 7 spoke wheels in every year afterwards. Aftermarket make good 7 spoke options that give the car a more personalised look to boot.

ICEDVOVO

IPD sells similar wheels. And quite a large range

Probably something you could source elsewhere as i doubt they have exclusive access to them

Ex850R

Some of the other Volvo wheels of the era,although rate are much sexuer on the 850.

With that in mind aftermarket have similar and for reasonable prices and no doubt stronger than the OEM stuff which is pretty easy to damage.

Gobsmacked at that first picture of the wheel , I do think I'd not get that repaired . Wall hanger at best . As others have said a couple sets floating around up for sale .

Cracks goes half way around one of the rims. Was a pretty good effort.

I'll find something to run, for now it can be on some 16s until the council use my rate money to fix some potholes around here.

Shame you're not close , as I've got a spare set of 16s doing nothing , actually on a local fb group for a carton and a bottle of wine lol no one wants them

You confused them. It's either/or as peeps who drink beer get scared in the wine Isles.......and vice versa....

Yeah, when wheels that crack like that....

In Group E years ago, standard VN Commodore 15 x 6 steel wheels (the so-called police wheels) used to crack around the hub area. Seems the stress of racing radials was too much for them. CAMS responded by allowing the use of alloy wheels of the same size. Lots of steel wheels were then permanently retired (if you'll pardon the pun) because it's embarrassing getting overtaken by your own wheel.
