You never know your luck with Volvo wheels. A full set of Omegas might become available at a bargain price. I got good enough prices to buy two separate sets. Summer and winter. Cushti. I am on the parent of all budgets. But tyres are wot grips the road. Wot are tires?

Long story short I like the look of satin black steels on my 240. I've run on alloys before but, short of a decent set of Virgos, I'm happier in the knowledge that I can just whip them off and repaint them in an afternoon than having to recondition something which I've curbed whilst manoeuvring a boat around.

No accounting for taste!
