Yep, that's a pukka S2 wheel Mike...
S1 wheels are different, nicer looking but a jolly sight harder to keep clean. The S1 wheels are unique to the S1 V6 and were based on a 5-stud XM design. You'll see Chris570's XM V6 has them...
The Xantia S1 wheels are known as Magny Cours. I have a spare set from my old original V6. I put S2 wheels on it because I had a set with good tyres and they're still on the car...

Mike, if you want my set, they’re yours. Only trouble is, getting them to you. Maybe FCF couriers?

Mike, I expect Chris is coming to CXM so if you could arrange something with him perhaps... Shame is I saw Chris on Sunday when we exchanged cars. If only we knew then

Re: Wheel id needed
That pic is definitely a Series 2 wheel, same as my Series 2 V6 Exclusive.superloopy wrote:Hi, do Xantia Exclusive wheels differ between MK1 & 2? Is this a picture of a pukka S2 wheel .... or an S1?
Reason I ask is that this wheel looks different to Citroënmad (Chris) wheels on a S1 car to mine. I thought they were one and the same? Maybe its just a trick of the camera but S1 wheel appears to have a smaller centre?
Although they've grown on me a little now, I think I still prefer the Series 1 alloys. By the way there is no Exclusive spec on Series 1, the equivalent high end spec is VSX.
Here's the Series 1 VSX that I used to own and its factory alloys: (click image for full size)
One advantage of the Series 1 alloys is they have a plastic centre cap that can be removed, making them a lot easier to get balanced!

Yes Mike, S1 Mangy Cats are indeed centreless...
Any joy in arranging any transport for the ones I have here to your neck of the woods?
