S40 & V50 (2005-2012)

Guest G Hello Everyone - My tires have had it, I'm looking to get 18" wheels, and I'm getting a little tired of looking at my stock sagittas. I saw the Atreus wheels on the C30 and was thinking about getting them to go along with new rubber. I think they run 215 45 R18 tires, and I'm guessing they use a 52.5mm offset so I am hoping fitment won't be an issue. Question(s): (1) Will they fit without other modifications? (2) Where can I get them? (3) How much? (4) As a reality check: Are they in your opinion a nice wheel, or have I lost my mind? I don't post much, but I HAVE searched. Since the C30's are just hitting the dealers recently I don't suppose many people have seem them in person yet, but your opinions are welcome. Thanks in advance for your advice. http://********************/smile/emthup.gif Edit: BTW, my S40 T5 is black ext./black int. with 35% onyx tint to help you visualize. Here's a decent pic on a C30: http://www.wothrline.com/image...p.jpg More pics here: http://www.wothrline.com/image...w.htm Modified by vlv4life at 3:04 AM 2-10-2007 Modified by vlv4life at 3:05 AM 2-10-2007 #1 · Feb 10, 2007 Hello Everyone - My tires have had it, I'm looking to get 18" wheels, and I'm getting a little tired of looking at my stock sagittas.

BTW, your Medea wheels are gorgeous. I would like to do the complete wheel/spring/damper swap you did on yours, but yikes that is $$$. I am jealous. #4 · Feb 10, 2007 Re: (vlv4life) when looking at Volvos european websites , you'll notice that some of the same wheels are offered for both the C30 and s40/v50s so , I'd say it's safe to say that these cars can interchange wheels w/o problems . #5 · Feb 10, 2007 Re: (V50_T5)

The C30 wheels should fit the S40 with no problems. Have you considered the Medusa wheels in 18? They are fairly cheap for an 18" Genuine Volvo wheel at a special price of $144.99! We have plenty in stock and ready to ship: http://www.vivaperformance.com...d=167 #6 · Feb 10, 2007 Re: (George @ ViVA) Thanks, George. I've considered the Medusas, but I'm not in love with the look. There's something about the Atreus wheels that I just can't stop looking at. They remind me of the Cassiopeias. Assuming I can get them, would it be a good idea to lower at the same time? I'm a bit worried that the ride will get too harsh for daily driving. I currently have the sport suspension that came with the car (FWD), so perhaps it wouldn't make too big of a difference...

Hello, They weigh 11.8kg or 26lbs each (Volvo specs). #10 · Feb 12, 2007 Thanks man... do you happen to know the weight of the stock 16 x 6.5 wheels...the ones that come on the Stock Front wheel drive T5's...the cursas!! #11 · Feb 12, 2007 Re: (2006S40T5)

That wheel weighs in at 8.9kg / 19.6lbs (per Volvo spec). I'd argue the extra weight from the 18" Medusa is well worth the upgrade! #12 · Feb 12, 2007 Hey George... I sent you a PM on a follow up question.. Thank you! #13 · Feb 12, 2007 Re: (PornSStar) Thanks, I know it will harden the ride. The gf will learn to live with it.

#14 · Feb 12, 2007 Re: (vlv4life) AMEN! You're the man, put your foot down and say "it's my way or the highway" on 2nd thought, skip that and don't forget Valentines day http://********************/smile/emlove.gif ( a nice gift and the gf won't even think about the hard ride)

#15 · Feb 22, 2007 Pictures of a V50 with Atreus wheels on... http://forums.swedespeed.com/zerothread?id=72203 #16 · Feb 22, 2007 Re: (Lukasz) I think those are the diamond-cut Zaurak wheels you are pointing out, but thanks all the same. #17 · Feb 22, 2007 The wheels for the C30 will fit the S40/V50, and many of the options for either car are the same. Wheels that they share include: Medea, Medusa, Sagitta, Sculptor, Cygnus, Clava, Stylla, etc... See THIS thread. Insert Quotes Post Reply
