Vega's are one of 3 6j for the 400 series, others being Versa/vesa and Taurus!

Vegas, however, look awesome!

I know where to find a single brand new Vega. I'm tempted...
Agreed that it looks very 'Borbet'!

Lukittava pyöränmutterisarja = Lock bolts (english is much more efficient language :lol: )

It also says under it that Volvo alloy wheels are wanted and recommends to lock your wheels, also it says that it won't change wheel balancing, includes two special keys :P

Prices are FIM that we used before Euro, today wheels costs around same but in euro, thing is FIM was almost 6 times lower value than Euro :roll:

It says that Pollux has been standard in 440GLT and 480 Turbo.

All those tire sizes are recommendations.

Steve... good point, I forgot that!

My 480T came on Pollux, think they changed later to Taurus, but don't know when or how it worked!
