No, I don't think so Russ, you have very little to sight through on a Wobbly Web...

Bit of wheel bolt sized threaded rod with a screwdriver slot in the end.
Hang the wheel on that.

I wouldn't put Wobbly Webs on a Series2 car, they were never standard and will look wrong. The V6-24V wheels were the early Exclusive wheels, followed by Monte-carlo's.

Yes I suppose the early 24V alloys would look more standard, but I think you can get away with wobbly webs on a mk2 like James's.

If the wheels have a CENTRE hole in them, then remove the centre cap, then lining up is soooo easy then!!! Works first time every time...

Good point!

They were available throughout. At the end they were centre-less. I had a 2000 XM with these on it.

ok, so I know that you guys might call sacrilege on this one, but I did a nasty paint picture of a green XM on alfa wheels -



Center bore is wrong but that is easily fixed, I quite like them

I think XM's are quite a challenge when it comes to matching alloy wheel styles, they seem to suit heavier designs, in my opinion.
They kind of work...I wonder if a centre cap with chevrons might work on them too.

Ah that's it now James, your going to get me thinking!

Nice 'shopping!

If I'm right in my thinking, then those Alfa Wheels will be 5x98...

AKA the same as a CX...

Interested that you say that it's easily fixed - there's some 5x98 Alfa Wheels here on a CX that would good mightily good on the Prestige.

Are there special adapters or something as I believe XMs are 5 x 108...
