R Design wheels - coloured weights?

[supersport]

It looks to me like the R Design wheels have colour matched weights on the them. Now need new tyres and I would like to keep them OEM look, but am assuming that Volvo are ridiculously over priced for new tyres, anyone had a problem getting them fitted with new coloured weights?

When I last got tyres for mine I asked the dealer when I was phoning to book a service how much tyres were going to be and as you say they were more just slightly more expensive.

I ended up doing what I had done on my old car and sourced the tyres myself from Blackcircles and got the dealer to fit them during the service. Including fitting I saved about £10-15 a corner. Thus the weights were fitted by Volvo. I didn't even notice they were colour coded!

It's an option!

That is what I normally do, but use Camskill and a local guy to fit, usually save about the same amount. Usually take the opportunity to clay bar/wheel wax the wheels at the same time

stupid question time... my wheel weights are sick on jobbies on the inside and I can't even see them, surely most weights are like this?

A can see them as the R Design wheels are four spoke. I know they are there and would like them to be as invisible as they currently are. Of course they may just be dirty :-)
