A set of these wheels will easily cost you over £2000, I have the 18" wheels and they are c.£1,800 a set.

If you do not have a history of kerbing wheels then get them sealed, or use a hard wax on them. The wheels on my car peeled the lacquer last summer driving on the M6 in the rain. The car was 3 years 6 months old. It was the spokes which peeled not the rims.

Volvo weren't interested, VolvoSelekt don't cover the wheels either.

You're on your own with these wheels, do what you can to protect the lacquer.
Hi, what wax did you use on your ixions
Cheers,
