Going from the photo that is a Triton wheel from a C70. Part number 9192142. 7.5 X 17" according to the Volvo Alloy Wheels Brochue from last year.
It doesn't list anything for the other part number you listed. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
There is also a Propus from the C70 that is very similar in appearance. 9475392 and 7.5 X 17. Also is a 7 X 17" Propus listed for the other 70 series cars. Appearance is very similar to the Triton, but the curves are somewhat smoother, less angular.
If you are looking at putting FWD alloys on you 240 you might want to start by picking up the alloy wheels brocure free at your dealer, as it shows around 50 different wheels, and tells size, part number, cars found on, finish, name, and a little photo. Before you pay for spacers and realize you hate the rims.
I know at least one 18" wheel exists, the 18" Atlantis? found on the XC-90. The fancy one, the straight six spoke is the Neptune 7X17.
There is a 17" rim or two for RWD, the 7 X 17 Polaris. Five spoke deep set, lots of pictures of it around on the net. I believe there is a BBS three piece that was offered at one time that is a 16", but I hardly ever see them. And then three or four 16" rims that I can think of. The Galaxy is my personal favorite, but it looks horrible on a 240 IMO.
