Here's a link to a website that has pictures of just about every wheel that was offered on the 200/700/900 series vehicles (except for a few, up through the early/mid 960). The most common 5-spoke 700 style turbo wheel was the Draco and I think that's what you're refering to.

I've got 2 Dracos lying around over here that I'm not using. One of them has a slight dent in it (possibly useable), and the other may be warped (probably not usable). I'd have to take them down to the local tire shop and check if they're straight, but they hold air for the moment. Dracos were one of Volvos weaker wheels...

If you're looking for a strong 15" wheel, consider the Omegas or the Rigels (the Rigels are not pictured on the above mentioned website, they look similar to a Dersus but 1" larger and shorter edge spokes and a larger "pie-plate" center cap, and were stock on '89-'90 740 GLE). I have my summer tires on 15" Omegas, and my winter snow tires on 14" Dersus. Wonderfully strong wheels in both cases.

God bless,
Fitz Fitzgerald.

I think some people on turbobricks.com have some for sale.

Your talking about the "Dracos" which are the 740 version of the turbo wheels? There easy to find, hard to sell.
I sold a set of four with almost brand new tires for $135, that's the best offer I could find.

The "Virgo's" which are the 240 version of the turbo wheels sell for more.

Dracos can be found regularly on Ebay also. The 16" Hydras are another story. Hard to find and expensive to buy. Typically $500 for a true set of 4. I checked a Volvo BMW Mercedes yard near my house and they had just taken in a 940 turbo with Hydras. Wanted $480 without tires was not at all interested in my Dracos as partial trade. "I'm flush with those things."


I got really lucky and found (for my 850 with 16s) an almost new set of S70 15" six spoke alloys on ebay for $300.
