I like the black golf versions. That could look smart on an XM.

Going back to Deans choice of AMG rims....I prefer them silver I think.

I wonder what the Borbets would look like on the black XM Russ (last time - I'm running out of inspiration!)

Thank you Russ, very nice of you!

The coloured ones look all wrong, gives me that feeling like i get when i've eaten a whole tiramisu to myself. I do however very much like the silver ones, very much. I would have to spend a few quid for some citroen centre caps, just colour coded to the alloy silver with embossed chevrons, nice and subtle, then get the stamped AMG badge smoothed out of them, i really think its a winner.

Got to get christmas out of the way and find myself a set for the recomission this spring.

Don't damage the stamped AMG badge! If they are original AMG wheels and you tire of them, they'll be worth much less. People will also think they're fakes...

Anyway, what's wrong with eating a whole Tiramisu? :oops:

I like the sliver ones. My hunch that they'd look good on an XM was a good one it seems...

Likewise not happy with them painted body colour.. All wrong. As is eating a whole Tiramisu Dean :lol:

AMG monoblocks won't either suit or fit an XM. The centre bore and PCD are wrong, to say nothing of the offset.

Pleasure...I seem to be mocking up a lot of XMs and wheels at the mo. :D it does help though seeing the wheels on the car.
