Hi.. RE: 2000 C70.

Car came, used, with 17 inch (low profile?) tires. The original rims were
really beat up.
In addition, hitting potholes almost guarantees damage to the tire...

My mechanic, a (Volvo trained) suggested to trade down it 16's...
Where can I see what Volvo offered on this car, so I can start hunting down
something
decent, and affordable...

Does anyone have any comments??? ( did noticed a slight difference in
outside diameter as well as Revs. per mile)... how big of an issue is this?
thanks!

The wheels don't absolutely have to be Volvo's.. again, thanks!

I just replaced tires and rims for my 98 S70. Went to
www.edgeracing.com. The enkei OR52 is available at 16 or 17" at a
resonable price. Price was better over christmas. Centercaps are
availabe, if desired.
 
great resource, thank you! I happen to like Falkens!

Now if I just need some feedback - on going from 17's to 16's...
