18x8 Ixion alloy wheel (singular); best place to buy...?

[Ant B]

Looks like I need 1x new alloy wheel (standard 2012 R-Design 18x8 Ixion diamond-cut), any pointers on the best place to buy just one wheel, please?

Doesn't have to be 100% perfect (my existing wheels aren't!), happy with a used one as brand new seem to be around £500 (from Volvo, or online) and I can't really justify that as my other wheels are average cosmetically.

Before I take the plunge, can anyone confirm the 18x8 Ixion R-Design wheels off say a V60 will fit (I see a lot of these on ebay, used, for £2-300) or is it a different offset for the V60? Any other ideas, suggestions - any parts sites or breakers that might be worth trying, etc.?

Thanks!

I was curious and searched for these wheels myself on ebay. There are a lot of them. The problem is to get just one at a reasonable price but here are 4 offered for just £200, which is half the price of some of the singles! See: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124788878...ixion%20wheels

"all looking a bit tatty and kerbed. 2 are perfect serviceable wheels, one has a crack and one has two cracks"... typical of what came up when I was looking for a couple of replacement wheels! In the end I carried out a DIY refurb of mine using a palm sander and a can of wheel lacquer. I was actually quite please with the results.

I would advise the OP to check the part number of what he needs, the original 18" x 8" Ixion wheels on my 2015 V60 R-Design were part number 31414017... Some Ixions look very similar but have different part number. Some have a darker grey painted section, but I'm unsure of other differences.

Yeah I saw those (and others that are similar, eg this one - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334040356...4AAOSwjIpgHQ-8) but they all seem cracked or badly repaired, bit of an unknown, not worth the risk (in my view)? Basically one of my front wheels is damaged beyond repair so I need to replace it, but I don't want to buy one and end up having to spend more (time and money) repairing it. If that means I have to spend say £4-500 and buy new then that's what I'll have to do, just wondered if anyone knew anywhere to look first, a reliable used parts site or breakers, something which maybe doesn't come up in a google search?

Thanks for this; I think that confirms the V60 and V70 18x8 Ixions ARE the same, as the V70 part number is also listed as 31414017 here; https://www.caraccessoriesplus.co.uk...l-ixion-8-x-18

Also have 1 alloy with 2 cracks in it. 2011 V60 R design DRIVe, but I can't get my head around if there are subtle colour differences to the wheel paint or not. I can see that there is "Matt Black" but from Ebay wheels it just appears like some are black and some are grey. Also, even though I have a 2011 registered car I see the Ixion II 18" wheel as a 2012-2018 wheel and not before. Also also, reading stuff on offsets, is this wheel used on the XC range at all?

I will look at the part number soon enough because the wheel is coming off to be pressure washed and JB Welded just to try to slow down the leak in the meantime.

1 equally battered wheel the same as the others is what I need, in the right size and colour.
