100% they're BBS. I can spot fakes from a mile off. Generally it's the 2 and 3 piece wheels that are copies and they're so easy to spot. Yours has all the manufacturer's stamping etc which copies don't actually have.
I miss my 740. Bought it when it was 20 years old, detailed it, painted it, fixed the ac, replaced tires, inside crap from Florida sun, but it was a great car, over 200k miles ran perfect!
Just love the old wheels on that old car! PERFECT MATCH! 😃👍 Much better than the usual Ocean style wheels. Great job on the restoration of the wheels as well, turned out really good 👍
I had personally painted the brake disc holder with Hammerite and protected it against rust, do not know whether that brand is also known to you in Sweden, but it is unique for anything that could possibly rust such as garden fences, etc. to treat it with Hammerite , you can get it in all kinds of colors and it should be a lifetime of fun !! Just look for Hammerite in RUclips there are enough videos to see what it does exactly etc.
I had an '88 760 Turbo in the 90's in the same color. I loved that car! I sold it to my stepsister who totally destroyed it in 6 months. Your excellent videos have reminded me about all that. Wish I could find another!
I subscribed for the Volvo! I want to see more about it. It is very nice to see people giving some love to the old cars especially such nice cars as that Volvo of yours. It doesn't matter if a car is old. All cars deserve a good clean and maintenance! Great series cannot wait for the next video
Either type of video works! Maintenance, restoration, detailing. Content is the name of the game. I enjoy your style of video very much. You should get an Amazon affiliate link or something, i would purchase from your links but am in America. At any rate, best of luck!
Would love to see a 1-2 hour long POV test drive, both a little city drive, a highway-cruise, country roads, night drive etc.. No talking or music, just drive.. To get it under the skin and feel the car, and what it is made for. :)
And anything is great on this truly fabulous boxy beauty! The 740, like the 240 is a design icon of their time! Renovation, upgrading and detailing is awesome to watch. This car has more charisma than a car park full of new tacky BMWs
Hi, from Germany! Got an old Volvo, too. A 960, 2.5 shifter. Like your car very much. A good desicion, the classic bbs-rims! Looks great!! Enjoy every video of you! 👍✨
Putting on 40/40 springs does that, they are often level but the front wheel arch is cut up higer than the rear thus making it look much higher in the front, and that is why you should get like 60/40 instead :D nice to see someone taking care of an old Volvo. Cheers
Riktigt snygga. Minns dessa fälgar på Volvo 740 när var liten. Gillar verkligen din mix av olika typer av videos. Variationen förnöjer helt klart. Du inspirerar till utveckling av egen bilvård till nya nivåer 😀👍
Id love to see you making this car as close to new as possible while keeping it original. (Aka restoring it) Bra jobb me dehär videon, mycket love från finland ❤️
hoping see some period correct modification for this car & full ceramic coating (or just recoat it with clear coat?) for the trunk, maybe please find another rust-free trunk and repaint?
i want to see you pull out that dent in the right rocker cover, these cars always has dents in the rockers, so it would be cool to see someone try to fix one
Good Job you've done with those BBS rims, As a truck driver with my own truck and trailer I often loaded rims for various companies throughout Europe at BBS factory in Herbolzheim in Germany, sometimes in a container, which I then went to drop off in a container terminal in Rotterdam, Waalharbor or at the Europort. Beautiful factory and from the waiting area you could look in the production hall, taking photos was strictly prohibited and that was a pity, but oké I could live with that, you do not want to risk the good contact and the transport contract that I had by taken sneaky pictures because I had to make a living from this kind of transport.
Try search for "volvo 740 epa" theres some cool ones, its a swedish thing where you can drive a changed car in 30 km/h. Some people really put their effort into them and they can look really good! Just a fun thing to look at if you want to😃
I subscribe because of the micra. And I learned a lot about doing stuff, repairing the car. And then I started to see the other videos. Like the old Golf. Would be nice to see more video about repairing something and about older cars.
Riktigt goa videos på senaste tiden, riktigt kul att se någon bevara en 740 och inte köra sönder dem... Fråga, har införskaffat mig en foamlance, testat den 2-3 gånger men tycker den drar alldeles för mycket medel och blandar jag i mer vatten blir det för svagt :/ Hur mycket medel/shampoo i dl använder du i videon? samt inställning på + - på själva lancen? :)
Du kan köra endast medel och öka inblandningen vatten. +/- anger inte ökat skum utan ökat vatten intag i blandningen. Så mindre vatten mer skum å visseversa. Dock kan man ibland behöva byta munstycket för att få rätt flöde. Lycka till.
Tack så jättemycket! Håller med, gamla bilar blir ju inte vanligare med åren precis.. Robert beskrev det bra, tack! 👍 Jag brukar använda ca 1,5 dl medel per gång.
A friend of mine priced the 2 piece bbs alloys for his volvo from a dealership. I'm sure they were about 1000 GBP each without tyres! And that was about 20 years ago
Ja, håller med! 👍 Lite därför jag slog till på just dessa också, för tydligen så var det ett eftermarknadsalternativ hos Volvo förr. (Eller t.o.m. fabriksalternativ?)
@@ejoautovideos fälgarna blev superbra. Volvon som helhet uppskattar jag att följa eftersom jag själv inte har tid, pengar, plats eller kunskap för en projektbil. Jag hade själv gjort liknande saker som du, nu börjar dwt gå ner på detaljnivå. 🙂
I have a 1986 760 Turbo and have renewed BBS 287 wheels, and now waiting for custom-build screws ordered at www.bbs-racing.de Not cheap but super beautiful :-)

In 2007 a friend of a friend in LA gave me her totally rust free 1985 745 turbo wagon: www.christerart.com/images/1985_745TurboWagon.jpg which I then drove home to Phoenix. High summer and the A/C quit just as I left LA. An hour later the override gave up and I did the rest of the trip in 4th gear with all windows down and the sunroof open. It was 110F (43C)..:) Fixed it and drove it for 6 months before I sold it on. Loved the car. Wish I still had it.
Bbs rz469 is what those wheels are called. I’d like a set for my Subaru... RS wheels are 2-3 piece wheels held together with screws. I like 1 piece wheels like those.
No , these are BBS RZ338 16x7.5J they were introduced to the german market at around 1987. One of the very rare 16 inch BBS wheels ever made for volvos.
Om du ändå ska hålla dig till orginal utföranden så vore det häftigt om du liksom leta på olika tilval som du kan installera till 740:n som är kanske lite utav rariteter, vore riktigt häftigt!

Keep well mate.

@@ejoautovideos thank you mate. Fan from Sydney, Australia. 😉
I miss 80’s European cars in that gray color with BBS wheels. A neighbor had an 86 Saab Turbo like that, but with sweet yellow fog lights too.
Its just epic!! Being a volvo fan and stumbling across this video has made my day 👍🏻👌🏻

Watched this entire series from the 1st video and enjoyed it a lot.
What a transformation and the new rims transformed the look.

Authentic BBS wheels. Nice find and fits the 740 perfect
Glad to hear that! 👍
Thank you.
