Replacement aluminum wheels for my 850 GLT? 850 1995

Just wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for some reasonably priced replacement wheels for my OE 15" wagon wheels? I have had this car since 2001 and have grown weary of the seemingly constant removal of the tire from the wheel to clean up the corrosion build-up on the inside.

Also wondered if i can bump up the rim size to say a 16" wheel without screwing around with any interferences.

Thanks! :)

    Craigslist is my first stop when it comes to finding things like that. Might also try the classifieds over on volvospeed.com, though I haven't been there in quite some time. 16" and 17" wheels were available, usually on the Turbo models. 15" tires are cheaper.

    What corrosion is bothering you? Rust on the back-side of the steel wheel? If so, then maybe you could clean them up with some sandpaper and a wire brush. Then get after them with some paint. Would slow it down anyways.

    tirerack.com is running a sale right now. I saw some wheels around 60-80 bucks.

      16" is no problem. It's the 17" that can be iffy. eBay looks a little pricey right now, but have a look. That's where I got mine -love 'em.
      Good Luck
