240 Hubcap Question

It appears that Volvo switched from the Dreaded Two-Piece hubcaps
to one piece plastic ones in '89. Will these also fit an '88? I
know that it wouldn't match, but that doesn't bother me. A quick answer
would be much appreciated.

if "matching" isn't that important, why not just dump the stock Volvo disks
and buy a cheap set at Walmart or someplace similar? I did that 3 years ago
for my '89 240, put on some nice shiny chrome-like ones, and they made the
car look GREAT! I think the set was on sale for about $20.... Understand,
I'm not knocking the stock disks, just that the cheap replacements made the
old car look newer overall. Flashy bling-bling on the old lady....

Yes they will fit as long as the wheel size is the same

"*-344-*Never Forgotten"
Is for the New York City Firemen who lost their lives on September 11,2001.
The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life
aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as
long as I live,
nor should any American.

Thanks! Now I just have to find one or more one-piece hubcaps.
The ones on Ebay are made in...oops, never mind. Don't want to get
*that* started again.

We know, but some of us were at work all day instead of browsing the usenet.

Yes they'll fit, so long as you have 14" wheels.

If I could find US or Canadian-made ones, I would. I actually had an
AMC
Concord hubcap on one of the rear wheels (that's the one that fell off),
because I figured having a ventilated one wasn't critical on the rear,
with
the light use we make of the car. We had a local salvage yard, but it
went
up in flames last month...

Yuck, I've looked at pretty much every aftermarket plastic wheelcover and
they just look like crap on a Volvo, well they look like crap on anything
but especially Volvos. IPD sells some that at least resemble the factory
wheel covers.
