Do you not like the Volvo Polestar wheels?
If you are only going to 20", then look at them. I considered them for my previous XC60, but then went to an XC90 with 21's. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...star+alloys+20

They look ok mate, not busy enough for me and the dish is outwards rather than inwards like days of old, that style believe it or not was one of the first to hit the alloy market probably 40 years now,
Black or really dark alloys just don't do it for me, gonna sound silly but the combo reminds me of school PE where most of us had grey socks and black plimsolls, kinda sticks tbh but it's healthy that we don't all crave the same things and all that matters is you like what you picked, I'm also in more of a classical stage of life, 10 years ago I had a Passat Sport, the recent disposal was an SRi Vx but when looking for the S90 I knew if possible I wanted the Inscription this time, it's the Passat wheel design that I was trying to suggest originally regarding the 5 spoke style, (I knew I'd seen it somewhere before) I tend to find if it's going to be a black wheel it's best if the black is the accent colour behind any of the variations of silver effects, my Inscription ones although I would've liked the 20's has 18's but they are accented with this lovely mid metallic grey which pops the diamond cut fantastically, the dealer had properly refurbed them as well, Here's another side by side, I thought I would have to settle for an R-Design, didn't like the wheels at all on the silver one I viewed but the Grey? next to it they really set it off, it might have been a shade of dark blue come to think about it, Seen some tubes from the US and some of the 22's owners have fitted look so Ant Hill Mob, there's one in that superb Met Red/Burgundy colour and it's got the lot, Xenium, Vented Blonde, Bowers, D5 iirc and the wheel pick is just the final touch to complete it adding stance by the bucket.

Not discussing the looks/style - taste is like an ar$e - everyone has one. I personally like the classic look of these Ronals - and appreciate the lack of busyness
I merely replied to your remark that 5-spoke wheels generally look “aftermarket” and are brittle/prone to damage.

Black is a non colour that hides shapes and contours. It's just a blob of nothing. It's much more interesting to select a wheel based on its design.

Personally i think those 22” 10 spoke wheels look absolutely fabulous on Inscription Pro models. |

I agree entirely, which is why I don't understand the popularity of black cars.

Life was simpler with steelies - if you kerbed a wheel it was usually a dab of black paint and maybe a new wheel trim. Must be getting old!

I have them and by god are they easy to scrape. Three months in and two already have pothole damage. They look amazing on my ice white inscription pro but I will be refurbing them every few months at this rate!
