The only OE ones that look like that would be the mk2 glt wheels. But they look a bit odd from here.

I believe they are.

Do they have a name other than mk2 GLT wheels?

I don't think Volvo ever gave the 300-alloys names. On early models they were imaginatively called "the GT alloy wheel" :? Names like "moon alloys" (the standard MkIII GLT wheel) are just V3M-own inventions :-)

Rather odd considering that they named 200/700/900 series wheels such as 'Virgo' etc
