Only buy the Arterus if you like wheels where all the lacquer will fall off and leave them white wormed to hell.

Midir's look far better on a C30.

You on 17's now?

If so and you like driving - keep it on the 17's - drives much better (I've had both)

Had Atrues for nearly 3 years. They were then 4,5 years old as I sold them. Not one "worm". The buyer has no issues with them either...

Where as a friend with Midir (Diamond Cut) has already had 2 rims replaced due to "worming" and a 3rd is starting...

It happens to ALL Volvo alloys, which are diamond cut and sealed with varnish/clear spray. The same on Zauraks. Or Spider... They all get the same worms... It is simply the way they are made.
