You also need to consider refurb costs. The black ones with the dimond turned finish will cost about £100-120 per wheel to refurb, i learnt the hard way Sad . Whereas the silver ones with the standard finish will cost about £50-60 per wheel to refurb. 2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography Cool

Definately try and get Diamond Turned grey if you can Muddy as they are by far and away the most popular/requested.

That is true, but you could refurbish them without the diamond turned finish, and they will look like silver.
I have done this and agree with the costs above.
So you could have the diamond turned wheels now, and when they need refurb, get them done silver.

PS I would choose Gray diamond turned with RR caps. Very Happy MY 2014 3.0 SDV6 HSE Dynamic

Diamond turned alloys always pit very easily, as mine have done, do not know a reason for this?
I would go for silver, the detail stands out more when clean. Thumbs Up Current Volvo XC90 R Design T8
