Wanted (long shot) Citroen C5 "Steel" Wheels
I'm after a set of 4 (or 5 depending on price) Citroen C5 "steel" wheels which are in fact alloys. 15"x6" size.
Part numbers
5401.Q8
or
5401.L7
New or used. Just thought I'd post in case someone works for Citroen or a scrappy and might have them.
If not, I'll be off to the Citroen dealers next week, although that may be unpleasant..

I think that the Mrs would complain if I nicked the ones off hers.  Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

ouch, that's more than I was expecting.
They used to be less than £30 inc VAT, then went up to £55+VAT, now £75+VAT?! Really milking it now that they know they're valuable..

Check for cracking around wheel nuts. I read that some of the early ones were recalled.

They were indeed. Will defo have a look. The L7 part suffix is the revised one apparently. Ideally I want the ones with the tapered holes. The
original defective ones were all flat seated.

Hi Mate,
I do infact have what you are looking for, Complete with bolts (I got the fitting kit from Citreon) The wheels have been painted silver are in
excellent condition
Only problem being they have 4 brand new Yokohama AD08 Tyres fitted and I'm not looking to split so I assume they may be more than you want to
pay.
If you are interested you could split yourself and sell the tyres. The tyres are excellent for road and track hence why I bought them. Tyres are
approx 90 each so as I say the wheels and tyres won't be cheap.

1) How much would you be looking for, and 2) what size are the tyres?
Also, are they tapered seat or flat face?
I *may* be interested!
Cheers

The tyres are 195/50/15. I bought them for my 205.
They are tapered bolts (flat face are bad for splitting apparantly)
I'll need £475 for them.

Too rich for me I'm afraid (and I just noticed how far away you are!)
Thanks anyway

No Probs mate,
If you have a re think they'll still be here as I'm not actively trying too sell.
I might end up sticking them on a 205 Rallye yet !!
