Trying on my winter shoes...
It's the first major modification on my XC60 - so I just had to hear some opinions
I went for Ronals R56 (7.5x19) in matte black - for several reasons- from my experience this wheel design is easy to clean, matte black hides the dirt pretty well, plus the powdercoating resists the salt/road grit much better than the lacquered wheels. And finaly, at €380/set it's hard to go wrong What do you all think? What is everyone else running for winter wheels? |

I have 5-spoke 18" Volvo wheels fitted with Conti winters. Bought as a package from the dealer.

Excellent choice. Really goes with the car colour and also because they blend with tyres you cannot tell they are smaller size so the car looks just as good as with larger wheels. Well done

Thanks Deman!
I'm not touching the calipers before springtime And when weather gets better I was thinking of just cleaning them with a steel brush, to get the oxidation off.. I kinda like the unpainted aluminum/steel effect.. |
