All of the rims on mine are bent and two are pretty bad. The good part is they are on the inside so it is not visible from the street. If you find a shop that has a wheel balancer that runs up a drum that puts weight on the tire at speed they will stay balanced a long time. Regular wheel balancing machines just free spin the wheel. This is the model (GSP9700) my local shops uses and it works great on my bend rims.

i was talking to a volvo dealer parts manager and he mentioned to me that they were getting a lot of complaints about aftermarket rims. Aparently the aftermarket rim center hole is usually to big and causes the rim to sit not quite as centered, this in turns causes vibrations. How ever he said that the Volvo OEM pegs i can get for $350 canadian a rim which sounds like a good deal. That is a 18" wheel as well.

Hi Gang, first post for me!

I have a 2001 s60 T5 which I just order some new 18" rims for. I got an amazing deal and the rims are SUPER cheap. Check them out from ipdusa.com:

http://www.ipdusa.com/version.asp?st...amp;V_ID=10324

Rims are on, and currently getting a 'R' style body kit put on the car. Once that is done. Replacing the stock pipe tip with a straight tip to compliment the body kit.
My s60 Project car I guess you can call it.

Anyways,I would really recommend these rims since the look awesome. If interested, I can take a picture and post it here so you can take a look.

Cheers.
