    I assume your fitting them to the car that's in the picture, ie, a Dark grey V70?

    My choice would be Volans in dark anthracite. The Jag wheels are ok but only because they are dark. I hate the RS wheels. Wrong colour and looks like you've just bought them from Halfords.

    You can get nice anthracite colored center caps now from Volvo. Look real nice.

    They will only look as good as the photo too if they are 19".
