The bobby 'minilite' style wheels aren't the best rim for a whole raft of reasons - m-o, are you looking for the
flatter s1 24v style which are fab; I must admit I hadn't thought of these being fitted to an Exclusive as I really
don't like these later bobbly ones - I'm sure John will be able to date the fitment of all these!!

Re: XM Exclusive
I would prefer the S1 Exclusive wheels, yes - they're stunning - my car's currently running S1 wheel rims and I like them a lot, but always after that possible upgrade. Not so keen on the wibbly wobbly ones - I actually quite like some of the Pug 605 wheels - but they really are a French scrapyard find.andmcit wrote:The bobby 'minilite' style wheels aren't the best rim for a whole raft of reasons - m-o, are you looking for the

I do find with alloys that aftermarket ones nearly always look rubbish while those designed for the car actually often look great.

Re: XM Exclusive
Hi, the wheels are the early Exclusive/24v type but I`m intending on fitting these to our estate. I do have a set of scruffy 605 wheels from an early v6 svet (top of the range thing) and a set of 605 leather (electric + heated) if anyones interested.
I`ll check to see what pump it has on it and whether its been leaking - I know it pumps well as does the aircon.
I`ll try and gets some pictures of the interior and you can make me an offer.
Cheers

Yes please!! Would really fancy changing my seats over. What kind of offer are you expecting!?ds21 wrote:I`ll try and gets some pictures of the interior and you can make me an offer.

Are the doorcards a matching pattern? Damned if I can recall what's on my Exclusive...
