1995 Volvo 850 just purchased

I think they resemble old school wooden airplane propellers, with the blades and the curvy hub.

I just got the freshly refurbished wheels back today and fitted them to the car straight away. Really liking the look, just need to work on getting the rear spoiler sorted and the suspension overhaul.

Nothing nicer than a set of clean, blemish-free wheels.

Thanks all! A close up of one of the wheels, really pleased with the finish.

My goodness. It's beautiful. Great to have you here, York.

That's a lovely color and the Columba wheels look great. Yes, they are correct for the 850 while Perfos are for the V70. Post pics of the passenger side so I can see if you have the elusive mirrored pair.

What was done to the wheels to refubrish them? I'd like to get mine redone but don't want to spoil the factory finish (though it's stained with brake dust).

Good luck with refreshing the car.

Those are some of the best re-finished wheel I have seen. We can mostly only get wheels powder coated. It lasts reasonably well (maybe 5 years). I would rather have them properly painted and baked with clear-coat but haven't found anyone that does that around here. There was a guy but he charged about 120 pounds/wheel ($180 CDN)!!

Car is looking great and love the colour! I repaired one when I retired and drove it to California for my neice's first car. Same colour as yours, but a 20 Valve 97 850 SE. She still has it 6 years later!
