It looks good. Maybe being picky, they need to be a tad smaller...but they certainly suit an XM in that lovely shade of grey.

I am sorry but I prefer to keep things original myself rather than having some XM/C6 hybrid! Platinum is also my favourite XM colour and I am lucky enough to own two cars in it!! Regards, Matthew T.

:lol: :twisted: ...show off!!! :lol:

To be honest I am with you Matthew...keep things as they should. But as replacements...the c6 wheels work.

Matthew I quite agree with keeping things standard. The only XM wheel swap I'd ever consider is Monte Carlos to Wobbly Webs...

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the name of the alloys in Matthew's first pic - they are so similar to the wheels on my SM and if I were to upgrade my XM steelies, they'd be the ones.

I go for the smallest wheels I can. I like rubber and I like the price of 15 inch tyres.

You are quite right Charles there is a bit of SM in the original XM alloy wheel design! Regards, Matthew T.

There is a bit of SM in the XM design generally, hence the name XM.

There are hints of SM everywhere in the XM design. I still think it's the first example of retro car design. Very subtle...but it's a modern SM.
