Genuine Volvo alloys and Michelin Cross Climate tyres

Wheels look great and a good buy. The later wheel design does make the car look younger.

The wheels are definitely an improvement......those calipers look like they could stop a Boeing 747! The stock brakes on my V70 are pretty good - do they stop as well as they look like they should?

With normal driving, there's little indication of the brake upgrade but if you need urgent or high speed braking, they provide it in spades.
The sensation isn't like hitting a brick wall, more like driving into a wall of water. Very controlled and predictable and I love them.
