Default 2001 Volvo C70 - Need (2) Stock Rims

I need to replace two 17" x 7.5 stock Canisto-style (5 split spoke) rims. I've found an online site WheelsRims.net that offers new OEM replacement rims.
Has anyone purchased from this site? I'm concerned with the quality of the product, the price is right at $170 per as I had a junkyard offer one used rim at $160, that seemed like "gouging" to me.

Parts seem to be the Volvo owner's kryptonite.

Should be OK. I bought 4 off ebay for $370 USD.

Yeah, but you've got the bass boat in case the Volvo breaks down. I'd rather be fishin' than workin' on this Vovo. Thanks for the reply!

Default Buying Volvo Rims

Everything I've seen online that's reasonably priced turns out to be a reconditioned wheel. It seems that some of these businesses originate in India. Boy, I bet quality control there meets US Dept of Transportation Stds... or not.
Don't bother wasting your time. Go to your local tire store and buy a whole set of the best rims you can afford, or get new one's from Volvo.
