I just bought a 1991 Volvo 240 sedan, and I am trying to find some black rims for it. I think it would look awesome with black rims, black paint job, and a roof rack. I don't know much at all about customizing cars. I only know how to give them the maintenence that keeps them running!! Thanks|||james H has the best answer, but you might want to hold off buying new rims for a couple of months.
Getting a new used car can be a great experience, but you could run into some expenses that you aren't expecting.
A fuel pump could go, you might run into trouble with the steering, struts or any number of things. Especially on a classic like the 240.
Don't mis-understand, the 240 is bulletproof, and I'm not speaking poorly about your decision, but only suggesting that every car has its own personality that will reveal itself through time.
Fancy black rims on a 240 might look like earrings on pig if you blow 5 to 700 dollars on a car that won't run.
Get to know the car first.
Check out www.brickboard.com a website for volvo freaks.|||Any good tire retailer can help you here. You have to get rims sized for your particular car, which means having enough clearance so the wheels don't rub on the brake calipers and the tires won't rub on the body/frame when cornering. Volvo wheels had the same bolt pattern from about 1971 all the way through the 240, 740 and 940 series. Ford wheels fit also but remember the clearances.|||Go to www.IPD.com ... they have all the parts you need. Because of the unique Offset on the 240. there is a VERY limited Choice of custom rims, but there are some that look great on IPD. just take them to any paint shop and ask for a "Black Powder Coat".
Also. You can search for other rims Online, with the specific Volvo Offset. 20mm anda 17 x 7.5" size. The actual size of the rim can vary as much as you want really... but don't go putting 20"s on it.. that is just Ridiculus..
Anhow. Hope i've been helpfull! Cheers!
Oh yeah.. Congratulations on buying a volvo!
