In the UK, they were only fitted to the 280 odd Mk1 V6s and a very few other Exclusive trim vehicles (I have seen a set on a 2.1 TD Exclusive)

Great pics! My intention is to try and make sense of all these to make a
comprehensive reference. TBH, I may even have a set on an Exclusive estate
but have never taken the time to study them as I wrongly assumed they
were 'just' the one Exclusive alloy design. :oops: They're not my favourite
which probably doesn't help although better than the ones I've previously
pictured for the Exclusive design shown. I'll try to amend the poll options*.

<<edit>> *Guess now the votes are set no additional entries are allowed
so I cannot edit in another Exclusive alloy option.

B-i-n on ebay too [for £90 or offers!! :shock:]

So. Just need to find another 3 then. Actually, that said, these wheels do
pop up randomly now and then on ebay so it's likely a set could be
assembled. Thing is though, the sellers usually seem to be ddealers
shifting the odd shop display wheel and this supply line will be rarer by
the day/auction etc.

:D

That looks a recent one, going by the chevron design.
I like the idea of using chevrons. Perhaps double chevrons would be difficult to produce.
[miser]£90 though! I'd want four for that much! [/miser]

Do you know I didn't 'see' the chevrons until your comment! :oops:

Wonder if the 'new' creative technologie logo was inspired by this wheel
design! then :lol: :lol: The black badge included with the wheel would
date the rim era for Xantia with the red square logo design.

Other way round I would imagine. You could replace the black badge bit with something more contemporaneous with your car.

My favourite ones are the S1 Exclusives (Magny Cours) and I have a nice set despite Old V6 currently running on S2 Exclusives.

The only problem with the S1 Magny Cours is keeping them clean. They are a right devil.

The same style was also used on the XM but with a five hole fitting.

Oh dear lord, the Xm rims are truly awful to keep clean and etch badly
with brake dust that sets horrid black acne. I can't see the Xant rims being
anything different. The Manky Course are better than the rippled s2 Exclusive
one's mind. I was in half a mind to buy my new v6 purchase off Shaun on the
originally advertised nice bobbly s2 wheeltrims on steels rather than the
correct ones but the car deserves to be 'pukka'. Mind, that didn't stop me
fitting Activa rims on my other green s2 V6. :oops: :roll:

You could probably change the pads without taking those wheels off. :D
