yes, bolt pattern is the same. Why would you get rid of the R rims? Those are classic!

Classic, but soft. I can't speak for cpozzer, but many of those rims cracked and were -- if I recall correctly -- either the subject of a class-action suit or a NTSB recall (in the States).

But yes -- nice rims

but that can be said about all volvo alloy rims. Basically every Volvo alloy is historically soft. If you want a harder rim, it's gonna have to be aftermarket.

Ok guys!When i bought my 850T5R the asshole that had it before changed the original t5r rims!I'm very sad about it!He told me that he had sold them and put on these fake BBS rims,the rims i have arent bad but i think that the T5R MUST have its original rims orelse the car isnt complete!Now i have found a guy that has on his v70T5 the 850R rims.So i ask if he would sell them to me!So thats why i am buying the rims!Becuase my Baby without those rims is poor!

Bye

That's good. Make sure they don't have visible cracks.
