hmmm seems like CX are 5 bolt so i'm thinking now that it must be BX and after a bit of a google session (how little info is there on the net about citroen wheels!) it seems that they will plonk straight on a peugeot 205. Will it look cool or just plain wrong?

Hmmm, they'd have potential for the right project. I shall store the info away in a safe place (along with all the other useful data that I can't remember!)
The Kamm tailed DS Coupe is gorgeous, do you know any more about it? The CX Woody is quaint The mid motored 2cv is interesting. Whether 2 or 4 wheel drive, it would have been easier to put the rear engine between the chassis rails as per the Sahara. He must have had a reason to do it this way, but I can't see what it was. Strange.

thanks for the replies, i'm now pretty sure they are BX wheels. The set of 4 are for sale near me for 70 quid, i think i might buy them (but not at that price) and save them for a later project. dw1603: I don't really know anything about the cars, just random ones i found on the internet i thought looked cool. I do know that the DS is a DS Coupé Pichon-Parat. something to do with Andre Parat and Bernard Pichon who built few specials. check this www.citroenet.org.uk/passenger-cars/michelin/ds/31.html
