Heico Sportiv Volution V's are available in 19 and 20 inch sizes. I have 19's and they are a beautiful fit. They can only be found on Volvo's.

20" will be much more popular than 19's, and less expensive. A few Brands to consider are : Arelli available at www.ultrawheel.com, Zora, available at www.zorawheels.com and MAAS, available at www.maaswheels.com. Various finishes are available to fit your taste. Your working with a vehicle that requires a 5x4.25(108mm) bolt pattern and requires a +35mm offset (you have about 5mm to play with but the closer to 35, the better) and 65.1mm Hub bore, not a rare application but one that is typically found in your higher-end wheels. If you go 19" you should use a P255/50R19 tire, 20" would be a P255/45R20. The key is maintianing overall diameter within 2 to 3% plus or minus, as well as maintaining load carrying capacity, you must use a tire that will provide the same or greater GVW as OE, same with wheel. Hub-centric (wheels that are centered on the vehicle hub) wheels are best, but if unavailble, the use of hub-centric rings will help ensure ride quality, be sure to ask for them.

Thank's a lot for your precise and complete answer, I visited the sites you suggested me and I found great wheels. Unfortunately I'm not a great expert in wheels fitting so I'll probably ask you a little help for choosing the correct size and misure for my car.
