Gonna sell my 90 740 turbo rims

I bought this 740T about 6 months ago, and mentioned here at the time that I
was
thinking of selling the 16 inch Turbo rims that were original to it. There
was some interest
at the time, but then I decided against it.

Well, now I've decided that indeed I would sell them. I just prefer the
Draco's I have from
my last 740, and I'm gonna use them.I just can't recall the name of these
particular rims, not
the Draco's, but the swept-spoke design. They're in fine shape, and I can
take shots of them
for anyone that wants to see them. There are 205-55/16 CooperCobras on 'em,
not a lot of
rubber left, but still useable. One tire has worn much of the edge off due
to my buying the car
with an alignment needed. I'll sell them with or without the tires, same
price, whatever the
buyer wants. I can't be bothered putting them on eBay, watching for who's
gonna outbid whom
for them, just looking for a fair price for the set. I'm in the NYC suburbs.
If I've forgotten
anything here, just get back to me either here or at the addy below (no
hyphens in the addy).

They're called Hydra rims, nice wheels, it's a tossup to me which I like
better but I think I prefer them slightly over the 15" Draco's, though my
all time favorite is still the Virgo rims that came on 240 Turbos.

 

Yeah, Hydras, that's the name. I had seen a website some time ago that had
them all
listed, but just couldn't find it yesterday.

In responding to an inquiry about the rims I'm looking to sell, I came
across
something on a website suggesting that some rims would not work properly
with my current 740's ABS. I've mounted the standard steel rims on the back
with no problem, but would there be a problem with the ABS on the front
end? A '90 740T, looking to use Dracos and stock steel rims that fit an '89
740 without ABS. Is the ABS just on the front end?

Thanx - Dennis / Den6N

Almost all the cars with ABS have larger front rotors. 14" wheels won't
fit over these brakes, so the steel wheels you have must be at least
15".

Also Volvo says that you shouldn't use older rims designed for cars with
the solid axles on the 760s with the multilink rear, but I've seen lots
of these fitted without any problems.
