Sveriges Volvoforum

Hello guys.
My name is Jan , and I write from Italy . Sorry , if I'm writing in the wrong section , but even after using google translator translated the titles of the various sections , I still do not understand, where you can submit the new members .

I chose my nickname , based on my automotive history . I am originally from Prague, and I live in Italy for 15 years. I've always had a passion for cars to Sweden. In the past , as well as other cars I've had 7 SAAB , and 3 from Volvo. My current is BiFuel V40 1.8 2002 110,000 km. I am very happy with this . I attach photos .

For a long time I'm looking for alloy wheels Nebula 17 " V40 . Practically do not exist in Italy . And for me are the most beautiful that the V40 has ever mounted .
I would ask you , hoping that in Sweden are not so rare, could you help me to find 4 alloywheels Nebula used in good condition at a price "human" ?
I know the site blocket.se , and experienced continual follow him , but I always find only those with 5 holes for V70 .
From Verona , city of Romeo and Juliet , I wish you good day and thanks. Jan.

Compliments guys. 46 views, and not one of you has been able to even say "hello and welcome"?
This, on the Italian forum SAAB or Volvo never happens. Especially with foreign visitors.
I knew that the Nordic mentality is colder, but I did not think that even so cold ...
Thank you, and nice day to you all. :)

I'm one of those who just checked out your thread. It's a nice car you have, I hope that you find those 17" Nebula.

I doubt nebula exists for v40, perhaps as an after market wheel? As far as i know only one 17" wheel has been released for s/v40 from volvo, and that was not nebula, it was the one in your picture. Cannot recall what it was named though. It was never sold on new cars in sweden though, but i think they were in the uk so you might be better of looking around there.

Thanks MartinS. Yes, you're right, I have seen many in the annonce in England and Holland. But I thought, given that Volvo is Swedish, that this model of falgar was provided mainly on the Swedish market. This is really a surprise for me.
Anyway, thanks again. :)

@Xynter
Thank you, I also like my V40.
The problem in Italy is that you can not mount the wheels that you like, above all, if the size of the wheels you have not registered in the owner of the car. Usually, there are only 2 or 3 alternative measures, and the other can not be mounted. I enrolled as full extent of the wheels 16 "and if I want to fit 17", I have to ask Volvo Italian, I issue the certificate that the V40 can also be fitted 17. "And pay ... With this I have to ask the competent authorities to enroll in the car book as a measure of alternative wheels for 17 ". Making physical control by the agent at the station of revisions, and ... pay 200 € ...
In Italy, the road to get the car, just like me, it is toooooo long ... Italian bureaucracy. :evil:

Hi Scandiman, a Quick search via google makes me think that the correct name of the Wheel is "Arcadia"..

/Thomas

Arcadia it is.

As stated before, these are VERY rare in Sweden. When I had a V40 before, I was looking to get a set, and during the years I looked, the only set of wheels I saw was fitted on a car and not for sale...
