We present theoretical X-ray line profiles calculated for a range of model colliding wind systems. In particular we have investigated how the line profiles vary with wind parameters. These profiles will be compared with high-resolution grating spectra of colliding wind binaries and will provide new insights into the structure of the X-ray emitting regions in such systems.
