jonb_5 6 Posted September 29, 2011 Hi You may have seen this, but I think these are the lightweight wheels you can change to which are a direct replacement. Can someone confirm this? Maybe of interest to some members, not mine just found when looking on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16-Citroen-C4-coupe-C5-Break-4x108-et26-winter-steel-wheels-Brand-New-Set-4-/160655757264?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item2567d44fd0#ht_1755wt_908 Thanks Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,646 Posted September 29, 2011 erm, no guess you didnt read the title properly, they are 16", also the wrong offset being ET26 as well (though at 6.5" wide the offset isnt actually too far off, they will fit most cars dependent on ytres used) must admit they do look right, but thats just a catalogue picture not one of the actual item Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gentrix 2 1 Cars Posted September 30, 2011 ask this guy - they seem about right. If you look closely - they are of thicker material than steel would be. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITROEN-C5-WHEEL-TYRE-195-60-15-ALLOY-BREAKING-/150666420547?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item23146b2143 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyepan 291 Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) agreed, ask him to read the serial number and search for gentrix's old post that details the correct ones. my search term c5 wheel -arch -nut -nuts -bolt -steering this is not a correct one, because the bolt seats are flat (like gti) and not tapered note the difference to this one, where the bolt seats look tapered, instead of flat Edited October 1, 2011 by kyepan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petert 578 Posted October 1, 2011 There are two versions of the C5 wheels, those with flat seats and those with tapered seats. The flat seat wheels were released first and then recalled due to possible cracking problems. I wouldn't let this concern you however, as a friend of mine races on these without issues, but the possibility is always there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurGie 54 Posted October 1, 2011 Agreed, the flat ones are weaker and the tapered ones are the stronger version of C5 alloy's. I nearly bought some flat ones and glad i didn't now after researching them. Getting the correct type of tapered bolts/nuts are not hard to find if you know where to look.
