A snow tire's leaking valve and totally rusted wheel weight clips necessitated a trip to my favored tire shop for complete remounting/rebalancing.
The shop's owner said, "Just take these wheels a customer dropped off for disposal. They're going to recycling."
They matched my steel wheels. They were for an earlier Volvo than the P2. The snows which were on the used set I bought are 215-55-16 and rub a bit at lock.
I failed to ask what Volvo these wheels were originally on. That was 9 years ago.
However, those 4 mounted snows were the best $200 I've ever spent-even if they were a tad wide.
I've been prompt with removing them when the roads clear.
Since this is the last season for the aging Vikings (Norway) I want to get a set of Lysithia (15") wheels for 195 or 185 series snow tires, not 215's.
4 steel wheels just for showing up! Not bad.
