Default 17" wheels

Volvo has remanufactured the 17" Titan wheel fitted to T5 and T5-R models. They came with the more modern centre cap, which is not really period correct for the 850, but I will use the original ones. There is a darker version of the modern cap available as well.

My preference would be for the original black centre caps

Or was that in relation air loss due to the incorrect valve type being fitted?
