More subtle, and perhaps an improvement on Monte Carlo wheels, http://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/467493530.htm?ca=5_s

Now they don't look bad at all Mike. Still not as nice as wobbly webs but then little does...

Big question is though, how easy are they to keep clean?

An XM handles large diameter wheels very well, it makes it look more sporty.

Grey is a good colour for a Series 1...especially with no sunroof.

I know/agree

Gris Dolmen is one of my favorite Xm color.
but as this is a XM-C6 wheel tread I think they look good on blue mauritsius as well

Those wheels look massive on an xm and the discs look tiny. If they were a bit smaller with more tyre they'd look a bit better.... just my opinion on it.
Must be difficult finding those as theres not a lot of c6's floating around.
I like those bumper overiders on that grey xm.

They do look massive, wich is what I like about them.
I agree XMs look good with a bit more rubber around the wheels, but on the other hand, The roccastrada design needs to be big to have the right impact. I like specially the convex styling that is not so visible on the C6 because it has bigger tyres (245/45) The 17inch version (rivazza??) is more flat

bumper overriders? that is hedlight washers ;-) only delivered in Norway, Sweden and Finland.
