Default 20" Lxion wheels

Just changed from XC 60 Se Lux to a XC 60 R des Lux .
Very pleased indeed.
Questions are the 20"Lxion wheels diamond cut or not?
On the sales blurb from the garage it states they are but when building the car on the Volvo web site it does not list them as diamond cut.
Also offered wheel insurance for 3 years at £489-00 do you think it is worth it or not?
Never had a problem with the alloys on the Se Lux but then the profiles were different.

Thanks in advance

They are diamond cut
Not sure on the insurance thing check the small print but I guess 20's are a lot easier to kerb, will look stunning though, enjoy..

How likely are you to damage the wheels ? Have you had previous damage caused by kerbing?
A set of these wheels will easily cost you over £2000, I have the 18" wheels and they are c.£1,800 a set.

If you do not have a history of kerbing wheels then get them sealed, or use a hard wax on them. The wheels on my car peeled the lacquer last summer driving on the M6 in the rain. The car was 3 years 6 months old. It was the spokes which peeled not the rims.

Volvo weren't interested, VolvoSelekt don't cover the wheels either.

You're on your own with these wheels, do what you can to protect the lacquer.

Thanks for that, decided to wax them up and go from there.
I am looking for 4 x 18" wheels for winter use together with tyres.
So if any one has 4 to sell please pm me.
Thank you
