Finally got around to sealing my new alloys tonight, and managed to get them fitted - what do you think? They're 17in Satellites rather than the usual Pegs.

Thanks everyone, it certainly does make it look cleaner. I'm delighted (and relieved) about how they look on the car - it would have been a very expensive mistake if they'd been c**p! Andyracer - I know what you mean, and I agonised over that for so long you wouldn't believe - I genuinely lost sleep over it :o However, in the end I wanted white or silver wheels and these came up at the right price at the right time - from a Volvo dealer getting rid of his old stock. They're actually for an S60R but fit an 850 as well - I wanted the R logo on the wheel but didn't want Pegs so I nabbed em quick. I might change my mind in a year or two and get them resprayed anthracite instead, but for now I like the fresh look.

Don't know about them being for an S60R, more than likely they where for a V70R(phase 1)....Don't think they where ever fitted to the S60.
