I'd like to pick up a set and swap the 5-spokes that come on my incoming V50 to winter duty. These seem to have never come on any Volvo's stock, but were a dealer accessory: is that correct? Is there any other place to pick up a set without having to get divorced ($600 per wheel - ouch)?<p>GaryJ

My dealer had a set on sale for CHEAP a while ago.<p>Check Boston Volvo in the meantime, but when I go in next week I'll ask him if he still has them.

Re: Medea Wheels (GaryJ)
Those are my favorite rims... they look so damn clean on a Volvo. I think they only come in a 18" which doesn't make scene, they would look much better as a 19"<p> <A HREF="http://catalog.thewheelwarehouse.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=53_610&products_id=130" TARGET="_blank">http://catalog.thewheelwarehou...d=130</A> <p> <A HREF="http://www.vivaperformance.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=159" TARGET="_blank">http://www.vivaperformance.com...d=159</A> <p> <A HREF="http://vparts.dealerfit.com/store/volvo-s40-v40-v50-accessories-cat126_1321.php" TARGET="_blank">http://vparts.dealerfit.com/st...1.php</A> <p> <A HREF="http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=AccessoryCatalog&catalogid=684&siteid=213784&categoryID=69939" TARGET="_blank">http://www.trademotion.com/par...69939</A> <p><br>Hope this helps man... <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/rolleyes.gif" BORDER="0">

Re: (GaryJ)
You could always go the replica route... Seems like it would work out for you. Just pop out the center caps while you're not using them and alternate between sets... What do you think about these?<p><A HREF="http://www.eurosporttuning.ca/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=EST02&Product_Code=VLA-862-113&Category_Code=VL-S40-V50-ex" TARGET="_blank">http://www.eurosporttuning.ca/...50-ex</A><p>They'd save you a bunch of money, and I like Eurosport. They are a very reputable company...

Re: (s40boy)
I got my Medusa's from Volvo of Dallas for $500 plus $200 rebate from Volvo. So, I ended up paying about $75 per wheel. I believe the rebates are still valid until September 30. <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://********************/smile/emthup.gif" BORDER="0">

where did you get the best deal online, trying to find the medusas online for about the same price without luck.

God I love medusas. Thinking about picking some up for next summer. Only problem is that would make my serapis winter wheel?? Seems like a shame, cause I really like them.. Damn you Volvo.

Really? But you must have needed the new software to correct speedometer, right? With 215's, it's pretty off.

Wow! Didn't know our cars could go that fast! I figured they had a limiter...
