1. The 850R didn't come with 5 spoke rims. It came with 7 spoke rims called Volans.


2. The 850 T5-R did came with 5 spoke rims called Titans.


3. You can purchase Volvo rims from Viva Performance, they have the Titans but not the Volans.

4. You can also try EBAY. They sell replica Pegasus rims and I have seen Volans as well. They also have genuine Volvo ones too, just be sure and read carefully. I see a set of Titans on EBAY right now with tons of bids and 6 days left.

Many people have had trouble with Titans. They bend very easily, but they do look great. I would try and get 17" pegs, but you will pay a lot for them. I have the Volans on my 95. I don't like them near as well as the Titans as far as looks though.

You can also use TireRack.com. They let you input your vehicle and it automatically sorts what rims fit, what don't, and it shows you what they look like on Volvos. I don't remember if you can choose car color or not, but at least you can see what they look like with the body style.

You can usually find some on ebay. That's where I got the 17's I put on my s60 and put my 16's from my S60 on my sons 850.

You bought the wrong car then. It is hard to find genuine Volvo rims for "CHEAP". I mean I was able to purchase (4) 18" Pegasus rims for $425 total shipped. However they were all different colors and one was slightly bent.

I had to sell them, but that was the best damn deal I ever saw on Pegs.

You could buy wheel adapters. Such as a 5x108mm to 5x114.3mm adapter. I'm seeing a lot of rim options in the 17" catagory for that wheels with that bolt pattern.

haha yeah, I have had Mustangs for years and everytime I needed wheels.. They ran for about 400 to 600 new for a set of 18's...

Sooner or later I will find a nice set of 17inch wheels..
