Center caps and beauty rings for 15' wheels? 700


I'm putting 15" steel wheels from 700/900 cars on my '89 245 with 205/65-15 tires.

Did Volvo make stainless or chrome center caps and beauty (trim) rings for these?

I have regular wheel covers but the center caps and rings might make a really nice look if available.

You could get rings from a 164 or 140 or 122 if you wanted factory. They'd be stainless too. The 164 ones are very square-shouldered and always have tons of curb rash.

Aftermarket ones would probably look fine. They come in different widths. The 7/9 steel wheels can take the wider widths. For older rims, and for instance VW beetle rims, narrow beauty rings are required.

BTW I just got a set for my Bus, 14", from a Turbobricks guy. He had a set of the stainless center caps and the rings, but the rings were some non-Volvo narrow kind. I can't fit 14" 240 beauty rings onto my Bus steel wheels. These rings were narrow enough that they just have a semicircle cutout for the valve stem, they don't have a hole. Perfect for the Bus, and now it has a set of 4 that match. Previously I only had 2 on the driver's side (so it looks good on the street.)

When you refer to your "Bus" are you talking a vintage VW Bus? If so are you familiar with this site?
