Ah-hah! Now that you've made me take a second look, I see a couple of possible problems. First, there are too many slots in these wheels - if I'm not mistaken, all of the late 60's and early 70's Volvo OEM steel wheels had 9 slots; the ones listed on eBay have 10. Second, the hubcap lugs on Volvo wheels were on the outside of the raised center portion of the wheel; the ones listed on eBay appear to have lugs on the *inside* of the raised center. I sent a query to the seller, pointing out the apparent discrepancies. I also asked him what the bolt circle dimensions were.

As for the 4001's - sorry, but the only 5 I have belong to the 1800ES. I do have a 684000 (IIRC, same wheel but 5.0" wide) that's yours for the taking if you want it. It came off a car that spent it's life in the snow belt (NE Ohio), so it needs to be descaled and repainted rather badly, otherwise sound and straight as far as I can tell.
