Bought some Perfo wheels for my 99 T5

Post by Eddystone »

I bought four directional Perfo wheels with tires that match those on my 1999 S70 T5 for $180 today. Tires are Kellys from 2018. Back tires are very good. Front tires are pretty worn but should be good spares, if nothing else. One wheel has a ding on the face. Otherwise, all are in fine shape. Someone had pretty much stripped that car of anything worth taking. I got the tail lights and a fuel pump to keep as a spare.

This is the style:

I've always liked that wheel.

$180 for 4 is a great deal.

Seconded.

3rd'd?? I saw a set for sale locally and in these stupid price days the owner wants $350 CDN and the wheels are not excellent and the tires are done. Can't get my head around people who want more for their crappy rims than they are worth once you have to have them re-finished. That cost to me here in Calgary is around $400 for a set of 4 up to 17" diameter.

Nice find and run as you stole them!

I really like Perfos. Running them on the T5.

I think I’ve got an extra set buried somewhere, too.

While we're on the topic....

What is this wheel? "Vector?"

Is this an aftermarket knock-off of the Perfo? It's not as good IMO. In an old ipd catalog.

Perfos and Comets are good-looking wheels of the Gen 2 P80s.

Still can't get over what you paid for those! Can you find me a set and bring them with you!?? :D

There were a set for sale with unknown tires here, but they want $350 CDN (about $240). They sold today.
