Default Looking for Volvo S40 replica wheels

Does anyone know where to get a set of flat five spoke 17 inch wheels? I am looking everywhere and cannot find them unless they are hyber black which I dont want. I have a blue metalic s40.

iPd has Peg reps that are Hyper Black but they look silver to grey. See pics in my post here.

Edit:
They're out of stock so that really doesn't help.
Go with OEM Pegs here...$221 each and there still may be a $200 rebate going on for buying 4 wheels. (volvowholesaleparts.com is operated by a Volvo dealer)

They look like this...

But is he talking about an older S40? Because the old S40's are 4 lug, and to the best of my knowledge there is no 4 lug fitment Pegs available anywhere...

Good call, I just assumed he was talking about the 2nd Gen S40's. If it's a first Gen, are there any five spoke OEM/replica wheels? Or are you limited to aftermarket wheels at that point?

None that I've been able to find. There was a very rare euro wheel called SSW Trex that came close in a 4 lug fitment:

However, they are obsolete now.

I settled for these:

Dark wheels always look good IMHO! If you want OWM wheels, the 2 I really like are first,

Then my second, Pegs off the S60/V70R's. With Pegs, you might need hub rings if you get any vibration while driving. Other than that, they look damn good on the S40's.

I like those SSW's, But I think Konig wheels fit your S40 much better then the SSW's would have.
But I'm a sucker for black wheels.

They are matte grey for the record. I'm quite partial to them.

Although that S40 up a post with the Pegs looks absolutely amazing!
