2011 R design S40 with Cratus alloys:

Car has "Standard wheel nuts" not the "Bulge Acorn" type (the name according to the handbook).

I have lost 2 wheel nut plastic caps (not the locking ones, the normal ones).

I got some replacements from Volvo main agent but they are too big, a different design and the "silver" colour is way off.

I'm guessing they are for the 'Acorn' nuts, not the standard ones.

The tweezer removal tool I also got from Volvo is hopeless too. The caps I have dont have a front groove to grab onto.

Anybody any ideas where to get Volvo "standard wheel nut" caps from?

the nuts are 17mm.
