SX C5 hatchbacks with 2.0 engines have a nice design of alloy wheel which I thought might well suit the Xantias shape. Not seen one them before but there is this on ebay which does look rahter good on them in my opinion. Still 15" so will take the correct Xantia sized tyres.
Looks good to me In fact, I much prefer them on there than C5s, they look tiny on a C5.
I thought Xantias would suit these wheels.

Re: I thought Xantias would suit these wheels.
Those wheels look RIDICULOUS on C5s... far, far too small! Tbh I don't think they look great on the Xant either
French is best.
Re: I thought Xantias would suit these wheels.
Them wheels do actually look rather nice on a Xantia, mhmm, giving me ideas now.
(Not to sure on the rear height though, looks rather high)

They do look better on the Xantia than the C5 in my opinion, though watch for paint peel if you do get a set, as most suffer from it and will need a refurb.
It is a too high at the back, I agree.

Yeah, there is a set on ebay that are peeling. I would like bigger or different but, no alloys I have seen that would suite the xantia that well

Re: I thought Xantias would suit these wheels.
I have toy'd with the idea of putting on some 16" C5 alloys, I have a spare set, though I dont think the design would suit the Xantia, the tyres are the wrong size and I think Xantias look good on 15" wheels. I also like the original look to cars so and im quite picky about things, so Im sticking with my Xantia wheels
The reason I thought about swapping to 16" wheels on the Activa is due to tyres, as there are no decent tyres available in Activa size, they are all comfort or eco orientated.
I would consider putting those SX C5 alloys on a Xantia if it had steel wheels though, as they do look very nice and far better than the Xant trims.
