    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...
