175/70 R13 tyre size. Typo. The rims are 5½J x 13. "GT" is one of the names for them. Best go by the Volvo part number when it comes to wheels.
Price? No idea, but probably loads €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€. Tom mentioned a set that went for €330.

They look like they'd look pretty good banded to 8 or 9j

Yup, i wasnt too sure on it either but apparently according to my old boss you can band alloy wheels

a set of 14" GLT allots, cant remember what they're called, the 5 spoke ones

Might look pretty good deep dish

Noooooooo, more dish! Everyone needs a bit of dish in thier life, plus you get wider tyres, for more grip, for more fastness, its a win win win situation
Check these out, i'd love the 5th ones down =D

No I don't think they are magnesium. Pretty sure nobody uses magnesium other than Aston Martin
