Xantia Alloy Options?

[tim leech]

Not yet Tim, will do. The rears totally fill the rear arches when in low. The alloys were £50 with new tyres.....

They're big i'll give you that!

The general style looks alright though. Cant moan for £50 as a nice c5 set would be more!

Bloomin Bargain Fella!

That didn't include having them refurbed but now they look lovely and the grey works well against the sea of Polar White!, tbh most of the C5 wheels aren't very inspiring...I did consider some C4 17" style as Ive seen a Xantia with them on but they are pricey on ebay (£150 for a battered set) and they all need tyres and refurbing so will end up costing £500 where these all done will be £200 tops and its a bit different.

Love how aggressive it makes the car look! Really fills the arches! Looks Good!

80's and 90,s wedges look awesome on big rims, it looks much better than standard and for £50 you got a great deal.

£50 a wheel WITH Tires ??......true Hedge Jumping rubber then.

Where were the tyres made ? IZBECKYWhatSitStan , not me mate.

Nice design, but to big for my taste by a wide margin.

I hope your not using the metal clips on the front mud flaps mate, is so take off the arch liner out and clear the mud out of your sill/wing cavity

£50 for all 4 of them WITH tyres is the way I read it, they could be made out of cheese and it would still be a bargain!

Yes £50 for the all four wheels with newish tyres which are amazingly quiet considering they are 215/45 ZR 17.

They are cheap auto-grip land-sail sorts but the Xantia isn't a powerful car and I did 100 miles in in yesterday on motorway and A roads at the legal limit and threw it round a couple of roundabouts to see what was what and it stuck like glue, they do have quite good reviews.

The mud flaps are genuine Citroen ones fitted from new and have had the crap power washed out and don't appear to have any rust issues.

[Stickyfinger]

Maybe, but did you look behind the arch liner ??

The original fittings allow for a space for an amazing amount of crud, the two I have stripped had massive amounts of it behind the arch lining.

I switched to self tappers into the liner thru the flap holes, as it pulls the liner to the arch and seals the edge. I leave off the lower one.

They look good but personally the Resolfen 17" are the way to go. I saw of pic of a xantia V6 with them fitted a lo......ng time ago and have had a set in the shed ever since. Got them refurbed as well. One day they WILL go on ..

[Timmo]

I'd love a set of the resolfen wheels on mine but they fetch Such a premium!
Is a set on ebay for 120 I think but local pick up and a gazillion m$iles from here!

[tim leech]

Resolfen, that's what I meant earlier. They look great but are as you say expensive etc

[Deanxm]

I have a dream too
