I don't have them in stock. It takes at least a week to ship to SF.

The wheels are painted in what I have always called "steel wheel paint" like the originals. Volvo used to sell spray cans of wheel paint an it was labeled "Steel wheel".

I can not attest to the performance and ride quality of the Coopers that VP sells, but I have not had good experiences with Coopers in the past.

I have been recommending and selling Kumho Ecsta LX Platinums lately. My customers have been reporting good handling in both wet and dry conditions, low road noise and so far good tread life. We have not seen any premature wear that was due to poor manufacturing.

There are cheaper tires including some Kumhos, but even though most of the old Volvos don't need a "V" rated tire, I have found the higher rated tires are being built with better materials and worth the extra 5-10 bucks. And currently the Platinums are selling for $74.00 a tire plus shipping.
