Default 4x Refurbished Columba 16 inch alloys with newish tyres

A set of 4 refurbished Volvo 16 inch Columba (T5 style) alloys in what I would describe as Anthracite grey (not silver) with newish Kumho LE Sport 205/55 R16 Y (91) tyres (6-7mm tread on all of them across the middle, so barely worn). Tyres dated 4315, which I believe puts them as the latter end of 2015, so not that old either. As you can see from the pictures, the wheels appear unmarked and still look freshly refurbished.

Will fit 850 / S70 / V70 Mk1 / (possibly C70 Mk1) if they have 280mm front brakes. 205/55 is slightly bigger than the usual 205/50, they did rub very slightly on full lock on my 850, but if yours has the fatter bump stops (like my old 850) then I doubt it would be an issue. I believe they may be fitted with 205/55s in the US too.

Note that Columba alloys won't fit brakes over 280mm, so if yours are 302mm or above they won't fit without grinding off your calipers...

Price: £270 (the cost of the tyres alone new would be £240 fitted at blackcircles)

Collection only from York.

Price reduced to £240.

The alloys must be worth this by themselves since they are refurbished. So basically like getting either the alloys or the tyres free

Hi AndyPants. I'm interested in your alloy wheels, however I live about 3/4 hours away. I can come and collect them in a few weeks when I get the time. Are you prepared to hold on to them?

Volvo did Columbas in two shades, the common silver and a darker silver I believe. As mentioned in the first post, I'd describe these wheels as Anthracite - a dark metallic grey. I'm not sure why they came out so light in the pictures, probably because they are so shiny and it was up close, I guess since they are metallic they also look different depending on the light.

Here is another picture where they look darker:
