What volvo told me when i enquired about buying the same rim a couple of months back is there is no steel rim equivalent. What that means ( they told me this ) is is you have awd and you fitted a steel rim because the depth may be different and even that small difference may damage the awd system. So of you had only a run flat to rely on that wont work as these have a small range at a low soeed anyway. You maybe best to arrange to take the car to the refurbishers after explaining the problem. Arrange to have it fixed as you wait or leave the car there and hire another one for a day. It may still be a lot cheaper than best part of six hundred pounds. A new one is five hundred and fifty plus fitting ouch! I needed one because the spec of my new car said it had a tyre repair kit. When i picked the car up it had a run flat and i was delighted. I was going to buy a rim and tyre as a spare for long journeys.
