Default Where to find wheels 14" for '82 244dl

Hello! I'm having quite a time trying to find replacement/new wheels for my Volvo. She has the originals and honestly they're past their prime and looking very sad.I need to buy new tires for her but I can't until I find the wheels. Is it easier to go up to 15" (easier to find this size available?) or does someone know where they're hiding all the 14 X5.5 5-108.00 wheels? Everywhere I look they're out of stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just looking for something basic.

a few thoughts 1) shop ebay. 2) consider upgrading to 15s from the new model RWD Volvos (wheel-size.com is a good resource for checking spec's across models) 3) shop Craigslist for parts cars and barn finds 4) check out Refinished / Used Factory Alloy Wheels Sales & Repair - Wheel Collision Center to either buy replacements or price out getting your rims refurbished back to new.

new model RWD volvos? you mean 740/940, which were only 'new' circa 1986-1995, eg, 25-35 years ago...

Pierce you gave me a good chuckle this AM about old and older cars! My brain wants it to still be 1995. Welcome to the AARP swim lane :-) When talking about an '82 244 a 940 is newer (or less old?) and as Lev noted those rims should fit directly. Gotta give some love to the classics (like my music playlist)
