My wheels decision.
#1
Right guys. Running my c2 GT BBS wheels on the Astor at the moment.

[Image: 9eaca648a01ee8e9c6ea8375f391c0e8.jpg]

Really nice wheels etc but want rid of the Citroen centre caps. They're solid wheels like cyclones although the Citroen cap is deceiving. Would it be badly advised to bore out the metal of the wheel to fit a centre cap? I don't want to ruin the rigidity of the wheel, or peel the current one and shave down the ones I've bought in replacement and glue on? Many thanks.

I'm fairly sure that there's been a few cyclones done with centre caps in the past. Can't see any reason not to bore it out, as long as it was done in a lathe so as to ensure it was perfectly central. TBH if it's just aesthetics I'd be gluing the pug ones on Big Grin

I'd like them to be bored out really the outer hole would be perfect to start at a guide downwards and I'd have it done professionally anywho. But then the easiest way would be to glue the caps on [emoji23]

I really don't understand why they'd take a nice smooth solid centred wheel and ruin it with a fake centre cap....wtf is going on there!? Confused

That's what I thought. Either make it with the center bore with a cap or just smoothed. I didn't realise until I came to fit new caps (I really should have checked it earlier than that)

Personaly id just grind it down and get some vortex badges to stick over the top. Then at the same you could fill/weld the awfull dimples in on the spokes Tongue

Hi Rob,

I am not sure if I understand your questions [emoji5]

I am also not sure if the wheels are original. I bought it from second owner. The wheels might be switched and changed.

Anyway, it is so weird loosing that flat circle [emoji29]

Thanks

I don't know what wheels those are myself. I think they're 206 for some reason. Not certain though. All I can suggest is measure the caps diameter and let me know what they are.
