We will need a bit more info than that, what type of wheel? What size? Alloy or steel? Genuine or aftermarket?

Ok. I'm undecided as to which direction to take this car.
Do I lower it and fit a set of aftermarket or non-Volvo wheels with all that that entails OR do I fit a good set of 16 inch model specific alloys from the 7/9 series cars ?
All I know is I want the current set, with its scuffed plastic trims and mismatched tyres, GONE !
So....I'm open to see what is offered, hence the fairly open nature of the post.
What ya got ?
Cash waiting.
Cheers,
Mark.

16" RWD offset wheels are getting pretty rare these days. 17" Polaris' are pretty much non existent!

FWD wheels open up a load more options but you'll need 25mm hub-centric spacers for them to fit (I recommend H&R which I had on my 940 with C70 Canistos - attached photo).

Cheers

Hi,
I have 5 of these alloy wheels.
All in good condition though one could do with some refurb.
All 5 have great tyres with 3 being nearly new.
Also have centre badges.
I'm located just off J25 of M1 or can courier to you.
thanks, Matt.

Hi there,

I have a set of Tethys 17"ers from an S60. They were on my 940 and looked awesome (IMHO)! You can see them in my avatar picture<<...
My 940 is dead, and I'm needing to move parts on as I cannot currently afford to get her going again. I also have the H&R spacers you would need to fit them. I see you're in Lincoln - I'm very close to you, so if you fancy taking a look just PM me...

I've just tried to PM you Jerry but the system won't allow me to until I have 30 posts...
If you are able to PM your number I'll give you a call whenever its convenient.
Thanks,

Hi Matt,
are the wheels a direct fit ? How much are you wanting ?
Thanks,
Mark.
Please PM me as I'm unable to due to low post count.

Hi,
Yes they are on my 940 now with the 5th in the back.
I'll get some more photos tomorrow and post the details.
I too am a new member and as such doubt I can PM. Do we have a get around?
Matt.
