I think that's why, after having the Xantia on Exclusive alloys for a month or so, I've decided to go back to the original steelies and trims. The alloys just don't do it for me.

I'm surprised Neil, the Exclusive alloys are quite pleasant and easy to keep clean albeit being a bit interesting to balance..

If its designed to be on steels and trims though Neil, then im with you on that decision...i am a big fan of steels and trims though..i always liked the mk 1 xantia trims....both the lx ones and the sx ones. The later facelifted HDI style trims i never warmed to :|

Totally agree Vince, mk1 Xantia wheel trims look brill. They look like alloys infact.

Activa Alloys are the ones to go for. I believe Jaap has a set going begging. Failing that, early VSX alloys...

Yeah those too. :D Really like the VSX wheels actually.
I do believe Jaap does have some Activa alloys going spare, unless he uses them for something else. He rotates wheels often I believe.
