Bought set of four for £328:00p 1/3 of the price required from Volvo. Volvo (Bells) wanted over £1000. The replicas are made in Italy and are very good quality.
I would be interested to know if the wheels you purchased had the correct offset as required by your Volvo or did they come with spacers

Cheers

Not being a swedish speaker I found the previous link near impossible to work with, having trawled around I've found the UK version-
http://accessories.volvocars.com/Acc...s.mvc/en-GB/UK start by selecting the model, wheels come under sport,styling oddly the Aries wheels fitted on my 98 V70 are listed under the 740!?
there's also a thread at turbobricks, it runs to 200+ posts and is like most threads a bit rambling but may have a few bits of use/interest-

What are those hideous "acamar" wheels like?

They remind me of the wheels on the Daewoo Matiz from the late 1990's - 2000's.

This is a much better site to navigate, Dave.

Part numbers are handy for spares, too.

Can't seem to find a way of actually seeing the wheels on the car though?

Galaxy and Polaris are RWD fitment and your car is FWD fitment. You will find your Uranus are ET43 offset. If you want 17" then you have a good choice just make sure you get the older wheels with 65.1 mm centre bore and not the later 63.4mm.

Have to admit I think I like Titans I already have the best on my v70, only other choice I would choose would be the satelites.
