They're a great looking wheel (if you ignore the buttplug comments) but in the end I struggled with finding a set of suitable all-season tyres and sold them on.
I bought a set of grey diamond cut 18" Ledas instead and kept the original tyre size which refreshed the look of the car.
In terms of ride there's a 5% reduction in the tyre height on the recommended 235 width tyre which is about 12mm which would give a marginally firmer ride but I have been told but with the XC70 it's not really noticeable.
If you are still interested in the Erakirs there are a set of Silver Dark Chrome ones on Ebay that have been on sale for a few months now at £450. Maybe have a chat with the seller?

Thanks for the heads up pal.
Really appreciate that.
I might be able to talk him into posting to Ireland. Not sure what the carriage would be or if it's even at all possible. But there's no harm in trying o suppose.
Regards.
