Default R Design with non standard wheels

I've got a 12 MY V70 R Design.

I've recently refurbished my diamond cut rims to Volvo hyper silver to give them more resistance to the UK climate.

I'm debating keeping them as my winter rims and buying a set of aftermarket rims for summer. I wouldn't want to pay more than 500 for these

Does anyone run none standard rims on their V70 R Design and if so could you post a photo so I can see how they look along with info on the rim


Thanks

Ford, Jaguar and landrover wheels fit and might be an option

What I find surprising is how infrequently the 18 inch r design alloys for the v70 come up for sale. Had a range of cars I've bought wheel for in the past and the availability of these rims on popular auction sites is really low. There are some for the smaller models in the range but you rarely if ever see them for the v70

When i got my xc90 4 years ago i was after a set of 19in sport wheels for it and it took me nearly 3 years to get a set and they wasn't exactly cheap for a set of 8 year old wheels with 2 bald tyres on,

With the later cars sharing alot of ford parts the wheel parts bit is opened up abit more with them sharing same stud pattern,

I have a friend with an xc60 after a set of 18's and told him to have a look at evoque and freelander 2 wheels as theres bucket loads on ebay
