What's wrong with 15" wheels? I have never understood why 16" or 17" would be better.
Just for fun?

Sold for $8600

Money can be parted from sub-groups easily, apparently.

It may well relist when the buyer looks it over

Suberb handling & stability...plus the car looks better...plus they came from the factory that way. ;)
Why Volvo put 16" or 17" wheels on turbo cars in 1st place if 15" were enough?!
15" are more suitable for 10v cars or 2.0 20v....and THEY came from the factory with 15" wheels.
I'm not talking about tuning the car...just about factory spec.
195/60 or 65 15" are more suitable for winter setup.

Plus....Door cards material needs re-glueing on some doors,strange looking floor mats(discoloured)and 1st trunk shelf is different colour than the rest of the material.
The car had deep cleaning of the interior at that low mileage....strange.
That's for us who have a sharp eye.
Otherwise...the car is looking good and i just love white cars with beige interior...especially these cars.

15" wheels are also a pain in the eye....my n/a came from the factory with 16" Persus wheels...this one is a turbo with 15" wheels.
Fully loaded equipment plus turbo and 15" wheels is just wrong.
The floor mats look like they owner maybe had all-weather mats covering them, and maybe that's why they're discolored. I thought they looked a little weird too.

As for the 15" wheels, those are standard on GLTs in the US. All NA and GLT models (except for the 2000 GLT SE) came with Antlia or Cetus 15" wheels standard. I don't think larger wheels were even an option. I've never seen them, at least.
I have 16" Columbas on my GLT, but that's because I put them on there myself. Got them thrown in with the full M56 swap I bought for my R.
