Hi SuffolkBoy,
I have a set of Volvo 18" Mantus rims currently sitting on my rack in our garage. I use them in the winter on our 2014 (MY14.5) XC60 R-design Lux and they have Pirelli Scorpion Snow & Ice 235/60 R18 H (speed rating) tyres on them.
They're in perfect condition (and I truly mean perfect, showroom condition). I thoroughly clean and seal the rims every time they are taken off the car in Spring before they are stored. They were bought brand new from my supplying dealer (TMS Volvo) and have only been used for two seasons. All four tyres currently have 6mm tread depth remaining.
The only issue is that we need the winter rims one more time for our Xmas ski holiday. As soon as we return the XC60 is being sold because we have our new Jaguar F-Pace on order. So we'll immediately mount the car's original 20" Ixion rims so that it's ready for a sale. The 18" Mantus winter rims would immediately be available for you to buy from 10 January. But we can't do it any sooner, sorry!
Would you be interested? If so, you can post a reply or ping me a private message and we can take it from there. TBH, I wasn't planning to do any deal quite yet but I saw your post and maybe this could work for us both?
Shown below are the wheels (well two of them) just so you can see the design. It's not their finest hour as they had been doing their thing in the Alps and so the car was filthy. But they are perfect and, if you're interested I can take them off the rack and photograph each of them tomorrow for you - you will then be able to see them in all of their glory!
Best wishes.
Arianne
And here is the extract from the 2014-15 Volvo brochure from which I bought the wheels:
