cool wheels on ebay

[Bluto]

I am not a fan of chrome wheels. So I have been looking at GEN III tauri wheels. Check these out.
Very slicerish.

crazy looking wheels!

[tampasho]

those are pretty much the volvo rims found here

 

[Bluto]

Must be why the center caps are "missing".

Those are the upgrade wheels for the new Tauri. They have them in the Ford Accessory catalog for 2003.

Those are actually Gen IV wheels, I saw them on a new Taurus the other day. Very nice looking wheels!
They'd be beautiful in chrome!

I didn't want chrome either, that's why I went with the Gen3 SHO painted wheels. Cheap, fit well, high quality (relative to some cheaper aftermarket wheels) and look 10x better than slicers.

I saw a gen.3 Duratec the other day with those wheels (stevetatro's) Were they an option for gen.3 non-shos?

Steve,
Those rims you have are currently on my mind. They look great.
Again, I think chrome is too flashy(for me).

I like painted. The Gen3 cars have 3-4 diffrent rim options.

 

[tampasho]

I don't doubt that they're Gen IV wheels. Ford = Volvo, you know.

Should have made some in 17"

The all-important questions: Offset? Width? Hubcentric w/Gen II? That's a great looking wheel, and may be more available than Gen III SHO wheels....

Bump this up! I rarely bother my source (brother-in-law, master mechanic at L-M dealership, 18 yrs. exp., used to moonlight rebuilding Volvo/Saab trannys), but I'll ask him about these new wheels.

Those are sweet! Flashy, but not *bling*. boink

Are you asking for the above Gen IV rims or what will fit a Gen II SHO and its info?

For a SHO its,

Offset: 38mm-44mm (avg; depends on rim height)
Width: 6"-9"

And I dont know what you meant by hubcentric unless you were reffering to the Gen IV rims again.

Hey those wheels are TIGHT. If you get them and want to get rid of your Chrome ones I'll GLADLY take them off your hands if their in good condition. I LOVE chrome wheels.

Those look alot like some wheels available from Fittipaldi some years ago at the Tire Rack site. Is anyone currently running the Volvo 850 or 940 wheels on their SHOs? If so, I'd like to see some pics and find out what the offset is on them.

900 series cars are RWD.

The Volvo rims tampasho posted look like the Taurus wheels, but at that time Volvo had nothing to do with Ford (those were 850 wheels... they stopped making the 850 in 98, if I remember correctly).

I think crazySHO88 has Titans (or he used to) on his car..... those are the wheels from the 850R. Most badass.
