Aftermarket Alloys

Had the XC90 T8 Inscription in Osmium Grey nearly 2 months. All the car I wanted, though dis come with the 10 spoke silver alloys. Not my first choice, but after 21” ‘diamond cut’ alloys on the XC60 I was more than happy with 20” alloys, and still am. But I admit I’m vain, and the alloys don’t do the car justice.

My XC60 alloys showed signs of corrosion on all 4 (as did a friend who leased a V90 for 2 years), so was slightly put off the Volvo ‘diamond cut’ alloys - though they do suit the car.

Was thinking of swapping out, and saw these that I like the look of:

Maybe pairing up with Pirelli Pzero or Goodyear Eagle F1 rubber.

Thoughts? Anyone had experience of different tyres on the XC90? Goodyears have a lower noise rating from what I can see, which is appealing.

Had Pirelli Pzero on a previous car, and no bad experience. When I had the MK1 XC90 some years ago I recall Vredsteins and General Grabbers being popular.

Sure this has come up before, but maybe my search methods on here not up to snuff, so apologies if I’m duplicating re tyres.

Would welcome thoughts on aftemarket non-Volvo alloys.
