Are you sure about that ? There was a 17" wheel option, C2C2273 'Elegant', for the X350 (for winter tyres) but it was dropped quite early on.
SNG Barratt still lists them.

I am aware of the 17" winter wheel option (my old XJ6 came with them), but the will not clear the front brakes on a Supercharged model.
