Wanting to buy set of Charcoal Volans
This will show what a novice I am- I will take 15", 16" or 17" .
But I assume they only comein one size.
I assume they will fit my 2005 V70
Thanks,
Jeff

You would be lucky to find any good set of Volans, if you do.... you can always paint them

Just coincidentally today I took pictures of a set of Volans (they are all 17") that I want to sell. I'll describe them and let the other board members weigh in on their value. I bought a '96 850 Turbo in 2000 off the local Volvo dealer lot which had a set of Volans on it. They are in good shape with the usual small amounts of road rash. The worst of the four has a very small bend on the outside lip and a small bump on one of the spokes. This one was the spare on a '96 850 R which I picked up a couple of years ago. I have to put it in the set because the fourth one of the original set on the Turbo was broken when the car (not driven by me) hit a curb and we replaced it with an aftermarket knock off -- I assume that anyone will want them all to be original Volvo units but I can substitute the aftermarket copy for the "spare" if desired. I'd like to get $400 plus shipping for the set of 4 but I'm open to their value -- but it's just not worth the hassle of shipping them for much less. I can't figure out how to post the photos with this reply so I'll post a classified with the photos later or I can email (or PM, I assume) photos. Selling because I've got a set of Columbas for the Turbo now -- want to go back to 16".
I don't know about fitment on your 2005, fit fine on a '98 XC-70 I had once but those were practically 850s.
A couple of weeks ago I saw a set of Volans on the San Antonio Craigslist. They looked OK in the photo and they were priced at only $250, I think. I'll try to find that ad as a service to the board here.

OK, cutting into my sale, I know, but here is the San Antonio CL ad for the Volans:
