Hi mate.
Yes, these are 1970s 343/5 alloys. 13 inch. 177/70/R13 is the tyre size.
Cheers Mark.

175/70 R13 tyre size. Typo. The rims are 5½J x 13. "GT" is one of the names for them. Best go by the Volvo part number when it comes to wheels.

Price? No idea, but probably loads €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€. Tom mentioned a set that went for €330.

Yup, i wasnt too sure on it either but apparently according to my old boss you can band alloy wheels :) a set of 14" GLT allots, cant remember what they're called, the 5 spoke ones :P Might look pretty good deep dish :)

Noooooooo, more dish! Everyone needs a bit of dish in thier life, plus you get wider tyres, for more grip, for more fastness, its a win win win situation :D :D

Check these out, i'd love the 5th ones down =D

No I don't think they are magnesium. Pretty sure nobody uses magnesium other than Aston Martin :wink:
