- FINALLY. I've been dreaming of the perfect set of wheels to compliment my '84 Volvo 242 Turbo for literal years. I've finally found them. Brake clearance, bolt pattern, 80s vibes, it's all here. Today I realize that dream and plan for the ultimate specs and a full rebuild.

Very cool, my first car was an 83 242 Turbo 4sp w/ OD. Still have a mint 94 850 Turbo, under 50k miles. My new game is MK4 jettas and modified ALHs. So my kind of content. I appreciate it!
Class act sir 👌🏻 keep pushing. I love the build ❤️
Looks awesome and really fit the car perfect.
Nothing like a new Long Automotive video on a Saturday morning!
Love me some RS content! Just the perfect wheel for any old school car.
yeah the rear arches are a bit wonky and most just forget about them, happy to hear that you're going to do something about them ;D
killer wheels! I'm looking to get something similar for my amazon but they don't come cheap, looking forward to see the progress on all the projects!
My 84 242 turbo same color - love the bbs!
Thank you! It's understated, but one of my favorite 240 colors
Love the project! You talked about maybe rewelding the rear arch. I know someone who did it. And he took the left front arch an welded it to right rear. And right front arch on the left rear. He got the perfect fitment!
That's a good insight thank you. I think it should be really straight forward honestly
Oh yes, they look nice! :)
I'm using Pegasus 17" with R brakes. Spacer needed though.
👍👍
Those are some tastey wheels
Hello 😄really like your 242 turbo. Got a 244 turbo auswelle with the oz futura 17x9,5” in the rear so know the deal with rear aches. You also want to shorten the trailarms by 20 mm to get the wheels more to the center of the arks. What kind of setup do you run in the front? I’m on Bildstein b16 from a bmw e46 m3 and the GRP A Design 😊👍👍
Thank you! In the front I'm running JRZ coilovers from BNE Dynamics
@@longautomotive thanks, looking forward to se more of your 242 😊
That is so cool, but a bit boring choice ( I also dreamed about the same wheels when just got my 242, but now I’m happy with my Virgo set. Good luck
Hi mate I know the centres are modded but can you give me the rs code just want to know which wheels are best to start with
Hey man no worries, RS324
You will definitely need a bunch of surgery in the back to run a 10" wide wheel with a tire that's reasonably well-matched.
any 242 action?
Slated for next year fingers crossed. I have the engine for it, gotta finish my 1800 first.
yep, they are the best wheels for a 240 ,
i wonder what you paid for them ,
I did a trade for them for a different set of RS I had 😄
So long UK 🇬🇧 hello Germany 🇩🇪. I did that trip the long way on one wheel and on 1 cylinder! Quit your crying lol.
Flush, like the toilet?
Exactly
