If you put Columba’s on, there will alway be just one more thing to remember…

We picked up a set as some spare wheels for the wife's GLT after we did the 302 brake install. Main wheels for the car are a set of Neptunes.

I have a set of Perfos in the back of my garage, paint is very rough so they're waiting on me being bored enough to sand and paint them.
Dont really have any use for them, but how could I say no for 50€ !

Great deal on those Perfos.

In 2009 when I was shopping for wheels for my V70, my final choice was between Perfo and Columba. The softer edges of 850 Columba won out, though the Perfo was designed for the V70. They cost $298.84 for each wheel new from the dealer. I still smile every time I see them.

I got Perfos on my S70. Imho it’s the best looking wheel for the car!

Ha.

I read somewhere that the Columbas might not fit the discs and calipers on my 99 T5. Someone posted that they were fine if you ground some fins of the calipers.

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

Neil,

I can get you these for $100 for 4 with decent tires. Wheels are the right size 16 x 6.5 and correct offset, but the tires are 55 because they came off of an S60.

To tell the truth, I was only looking for one or two as spares. I drove 2.5 hours south to Columbus. Wheels at this pick and pull were supposed to be $40 each. When I arrived, these were sitting in the foyer with a $200 price tag on them. I was annoyed because they had told me the wheels were still on the car before I decided to drive down, and I didn't take them. A day later, I called and had them hold for me and drove all the way down and back to get them for $180. Ten hours of driving. One of you guys (I'm thinking Robert) had completely stripped the 99 T5 these came off of that was in the yard. Only got the fuel pump and two tail lights. I was wearing my MVS tee shirt, and a guy came up and started a conversation. He used to be in Volvos and switched to Audis. He's thinking of switching back. He knew Robert.
