check these out. . its funny because the pegs are the only rim i think ill run besides my viggen rims i dont care how easily they bend. . somthing about a 5 spoke rim on the viggen bodys i love and originality of them..

and everyone runs the double evo's & RK II's

i have been looking for awhile for strictly an 18'' set at a reasonable price w/ wobbles and then saw your thread. . Gorillas huh ? what do you think about the even rarer 19'' with rolled fenders..? hmm ride quality will be that much worse and rubbing probably not worth it..

here are a few adds i've recently been looking at. . ill be doing somthing this summer but i am in no hurry because my vig rims are in excellent excellent shape (knock on wood). . i hate it when people have what i got or try and do the same thing believe me but its all been done before. . so i figured id share them with you because i have been hunting for a set..

and as long as i dont see any LB viggens in S. New Hampshire with pegs i think ill be ok lol

there out there though..

i got my pegs for a killer deal off of here 300 rashed horribly with tires 2 of which were bald but i was able to sell some of the tires off to make back a good chunk of money and now the wheels are getting refinished found a guy that does them locally very cheap i dropped them off yesterday around 6 and he sent me a picture of them around 10 pm all primed and ready for wet sand. but as far as the 19" pegs from what i hear volvo never made a set and all the 19s are actually reps again this is hear say from what i read and have heard. but i mean think about it what volvo r came with 19s? the s60 is what had the 18s and the others had 17s there was no roadster or anything so thats why im pretty sure this is true i cant see paying close to 1000 dollars for just rep wheels no tires....

and the gorilla bolts im not using on these just to clear up i just had to get them for my other wheels because the stock lug bolts wouldnt fit in the hole of the wheel had to go with smaller diamiter ones

Hi, i'm new here.... Just today I bought some Volvo Pegasus wheels 8 by 18'' with 225/40 tyres.... I will be fitting them to my 2001 Saab 9-3 se convertible, they are brand new in the box from a guy on ebay who bought them for his x-type Jag but before he fitted them his car broke down and needed the money to repair it so ÂŁ340.00 inc made them mine. They are dark silver so are being resprayed bright silver on Thursday, i'll post pics when fitted! Yaaaaeeeee.....
