Does anyone have any photos of an XC90 with the new chrome wheels? I have one on order but have never actually seen the wheels on an actual XC90 and I'm curious as to whether I'm going to like them or not.

I'm predicting that you won't like them, since chrome wheels are hideous in each and every modern application.

Are you sure those are the volvo factory chrome wheels? I have seen those before and they were not from Volvo, they were chromed after market by someone. I have been told that the Volvo chrome wheels aren't near as shiny as those pictured, we'll see! Thanks though and I am trying to find an actual XC90 with them installed.

What size? The new 19 inchers?

Yeah the posted ones are all DIO chromes. Not factory.

I think they're just 18" Atlantis. Volvo supposedly uses more nickel coating than standard and I have heard they look pretty good but I have not actually seen any on or off an XC90. I went back and forth and decided to order them to make it loook a little different, so hopefully different will be good in this case. I'll post photos whenever I actually get the car, it is on a ship now and supposed to be here around the second or third week of September.

Nice. I've seen DIO chromes on a XC90 they look pretty good. If the finish is slightly more mirror like than the wavyness of the DIOs I think it will look sharp.

Enjoy the new car. Look forward to the pictures.

I hate the new 19" XC90 wheels

[George @ ViVA]

FYI, The 18" Atlantis and the 19" Oceanus come in either Silver or CHROME from the factory.

Where do you buy the 19" for the XC90? They were not an option when I ordered mine in June and they are not listed as an option at Volvo USA's web site. They only show 17" and the 18" Atlantis in either standard or chrome.

Yeah, George is right, you can get the atlantis in chrome from the fact-o-ry.
