Spotted this on the .com site - a modded S1 V6 that's up for sale in NZ:

Can't believe it's running 20" wheels!
It's obviously all been colour coded when it's had it's "Recent Respray" but is that still the lovely Mint Green like Tim's car at the X Rally?

The XM will take a 20" rim, 17's are ok, 18's really start to get jiggly by cit standards, 20's must be awefull, they must have to be skinny too as rear arch clearance isnt great when running 215's

Looks wise I really like Xm on large wheels, it's one car that looks great when modified.

The thing that offends me most about looking at this car is the short numberplate! Seeing the bumper mounting bolts isn't pretty. It also looks like its missing the indicator and foglamp units.
As a point of comparison, how big were the wheels on the modified Xm at the X rally?

This line in the advert made me chuckle...
-Hydrolic Suspension (Up And Down) - Ride Height Adjustable Even While Driving..
So...who has got a set of 20" "Mags & Tryes" for an XM that I can buy?!!

I (unfortunately) didn't have a good look at them Robert, but they weren't huge. Probably 17s...nothing near 20!

Here's one with 17s on it - now removed and running on steelies with correct trims. I believe the owners still got them, and he lives just down the road...

Here's that Gumtree one - I think these are 18s. Quite similar to Dean's I think?
