strbryan is CORRECT .. the alloys you have ARE COPIES & NOT genuine Volvo alloys .. IIRC "Tam" industries are based in China & do manufacturer ALL SORTS of "Cheapo" copy Alloy wheels for All sorts of Cars ect ect ...

TBH... I think if your REALLY HONEST in your listing you SHOULD get over £300 for them .. but you DO NOT want it to Bite yer Ass later on ... so just be honest & say summot like

Thanks again for the reply, I cant see anything like that on them? Was that taken from the wheel? Is the part number printed on the wheel?

Is the TAM number not on the your wheels? You all seems fairly clear that these arnt genuine, I was under the impression from the Volvo dealer that they were.
Once again thanks for your help.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your reply and will update the listing. I wish i had known earlier as i could have perhaps tracked down one to fit but i couldn't find anything in 8J and the dealer told me they were the real deal. I want to apologise to all on the forum this was a genuine mistake and really didn't want to mislead anyone. I'll amend the Ebay listing as suggest and thanks once again.
Dave

Actually, Thanks to you all for helpful info as like Keith said, I did want this to bite me in the B*m. Very helpful and you guys obviously know your stuff...Wish I'd have come on here when i was after just one wheel replacement.
