Citroën rims

Citroen rims - overview

Comfort meets character

Citroen has stood for innovative design, high driving comfort and French originality for decades. Models such as the C3, C4, C5 Aircross and the all-electric ë-C4 are characterised by their comfortable suspension set-up and striking appearance. Design also plays a central role when it comes to the rims: they should not only be functional, but also emphasise the individual charisma of the vehicles. The right rims also improve driving behaviour, efficiency and road holding.

Original Citroen rims

Citroen offers a selection of original rims for all models, which are precisely matched to the respective vehicle architecture. These rims combine functionality, durability and modern design. Particularly with equipment variants such as Shine, C-Series or Max, attractive alloy wheels are fitted ex works, giving the vehicle a unique look.

Original Citroen rims are available in different colours and designs:

• Silver painted for a classic, understated appearance

• Matt or glossy black for sporty models

• Anthracite or graphite for a modern, high-quality look

• Bi-colour designs with glossy turned elements for a dynamic appearance

The original rims are optimally matched to the chassis, braking system and axle loads and thus offer the best possible safety and driving stability - for combustion engines as well as hybrid and electric models.

Aluminium rims from well-known third-party suppliers for Citroen vehicles

For Citroen drivers who value individualisation, numerous well-known wheel manufacturers offer suitable accessory wheels. These alloy wheels are available in many variants and meet the highest standards of quality and safety. The best-known brands include:

• OZ Racing - sporty, weight-optimised rims with an elegant finish

• Borbet - durable rims with clean lines and a versatile range of applications

• Ronal - high-quality everyday rims with a classic and modern design

• AEZ and DOTZ - eye-catching, trendy rims for particularly individual vehicles

The rims from these brands are generally compatible with Citroen vehicles without any problems and fulfil common standards in terms of load capacity, offset and clearance. Many designs are also available with ABE or ECE approval.

Common inch sizes and offsets for Citroen rims

The choice of inch sizes for Citroen models depends on the vehicle type and the desired look:

• 14 inch to 16 inch: for small cars such as Citroen C1 or C3

• 16 inches to 18 inches: for compact models such as the C4, C4 X or ë-C4

• 17 inches to 20 inches: for SUVs such as the C5 Aircross, C5 X or Berlingo

The offsets vary depending on the model, rim type and vehicle width. Values between ET 20 and ET 45 are common, although sportier designs and wider rims are often fitted with lower offsets to create a visually wider track.

Design variants of Citroen rims

Citroen's wheel designs are also typically creative and unconventional, which increases the recognition value of the vehicles. Popular design variants are:

• Double-spoke rims: sporty and structured, good for Shine equipment

• Y-spoke rims: delicate and elegant, suitable for saloons and electric vehicles

• V-spoke rims: angular and powerful, often installed on SUVs

• Turbine wheels: used for aerodynamic advantages, especially in electric models

• Multi-spoke rims: uniform and stylish for an upscale appearance

The wide variety of original and accessory rims allows the appearance of every Citroen model to be customised in a targeted manner - technically coordinated and visually matched to the French design with its strong character.
