Don't buy those dude, even if they do fit, which I doubt. I wouldn't take a risk with some knock-off wheel.... you can get by with designer imposter sunglasses...imposter wheels have a slightly larger risk if they are defective.

Paint/powder your OEM wheels, or lay down the cash to buy a quality set from a reputable manufacturer.

Just my $.02

They might actually be OK but the audacity of the crooks that are the Chinese just pisses me off. Ebay should be de-listing them just on copyright infringement alone.

Check the off set!! Most Volvo's are front wheel drive with a AWD add on. The bolt circle is correct.

Those would probably look pretty sweet on your STR - if you can find out what brand they are.

Glad to hear you won't go with any fakes.
