Default s60/v70 R questions

so I was doing a little checking around to see if I could find any sort of production numbers for the R series with no avail. Anyone have any idea of how many were imported over to north america?

Also, looking at colors for model years, I believe the sonic blue was only available in 06-07, but have not been able to confirm this info. Just looking around to see what the rarest color of the R series was (guessing either sonic blue or flash green).

To comment on Van's question:

I wouldn't go with any size other than that recommended from the factory. The outer diameter is bigger, so you risk rubbing while turning and hitting the top of the wheel well when hitting bumps. The longer circumference of the tire will also have a slight negative effect in performance and fuel economy.
