Agreed with Welly, those are very nice. They're centreless though so getting them balanced is fun. Hoggars, are they called?

Them are nice, I like the 5 spoke 17" 206 gti aswell and the 306 gti6 wheels, some good selections on the market, its just finding out what they would look like on the estate.
I get my wheels refurbed for free and any colour too but if I get the silver executive I'll just be keeping wheels silver too

Those wheels will look just as lost in the 406 arch's bud & you've got the added prob of the wrong offset, you will find they foul the front brake calipers :roll: ,
can be made to fit using spacers but with the added cost £100+ for decent spacers you've got to REALLY want to fit those wheels :?
B.T.W I am in agreement with you on lowering them I'm gonna do mine in the spring I'll give you the spring details later 8) .

Well done, sounds good like a good buy. I hope you're pleasantly surprised once you get used to it.
My bro's got an x-reg exec in grey / black leather, it's a nice car.

Post some first impressions, then pics, when you can. 8)
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
