Hey guys!
I just picked up my first Volvo, a '92 240 GL. I couldn't be happier with my decision.. Every positive thing I've read about them has been entirely accurate. Mine had been neglected for a couple years and was looking/feeling tired so I had to spend a weekend under the hood to get it ready for smog testing (Californian here..) and the thing is such a joy to work on. Simple, logical, and well made.

Anyway, to my question.

What first attracted me to the 240 was it's handsome 70's styling that didn't change much in it's lifetime. I would kill for an original 242 but one in my college student price range was impossible to find so I ended up with the '92 for $900. Fortunately, a lot of the styling that I like carried through to my model and I'm quite happy with how it looks..

Except for these HIDEOUS wheel covers!

Seriously, does anyone actually like these? It's like Volvo knew they had to make some sort of change so they threw these plastic discs on there.

The older chrome center cap and chrome beauty ring is such a better look plus it actually matches the styling of the car..

So I know I have 14" steel wheels.. My question is:


Did Volvo make any changes to these wheels throughout it's usage on the 240? Are all Volvo caps, covers, rings, etc.. interchangeable between any set of Volvo 14" steel wheels? I really want to buy an older set of caps (with the big V in the center) and beauty rings for my '92.. has anyone else done this?
