See if Volvo sells a set of snow tires for your car that uses steel wheels. You will have snow tires AND sturdy wheels.

A GOOD tire shop should be able to find you some steel wheels for your car - My tire shop Stansfield Tire in Lowell Masachusetts found me a set of steel wheels with the proper load rating for our '96 855R. They had longer welds that tied the two parts of the wheels together than Volvo wheels.

Wheels with a higher load rating are sturdier that wheels with a lower rating.

I have a set of 544 station wagon wheels for my 544 - they are 1/2 inch wider than the stock wheels and have thicker metal.

Really good aftermarket wheels may be stronger than the stock wheels - beware the need to use special lug nuts!
