Well curiosity got the better of me and whilst littlun slept this afternoon in the garden i pumped up the tires witht he foot pump and my trusty pressure gauge so after i hjad done the rear calipers i could slot them on!
So! the final installment as such! and i have come to the conclusion that in the right colour the wheels look the nuts on the bx!!
The car witht he wheels on and calipers painted!!!8)

front painted caliper and wheel,

Rear caliper and wheel

and finnally drivers rear pic because i like it!!

Very pleased now! even more so thatthey look good on the car! so this draws an end to my wheel saga! at last and finnaly i hear mayny of you sigh! hahaha!

Just need to give the car a clean now!

Looks very nice

I had the same wheels on my Black ZX I thought long and hard about having the done in black with a polished lip. Ended up having them stove enamled silver. I bottled it.

Looks great timmo, just need to get the rest of the car shining as much of the wheels!

What you doing regarding centrecaps?

Timmo · Post by **Timmo** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 9:02 pm

haha! a quick wash ought to see it as shiny! just lazyness has menat its a bit grubby!
Centre caps wise i am goignt o have a play witht he std pug ones and see if they are alright witht he emblem removed/sanded off, if so will paint them up and have them if not then will source somethign else loL!
have a mate that can get zinc plating done so may aks him for a aset of wheel bolts to finish them off!

Looks great!

About the center caps, there are some C2 whels that have the citroen simbol ebossed like the peugeot ones, but i don't know if they fit.

Looks fantastic!
Should definitively have been standard back in the 90s, looks if they just belong there!

They've come out well! Looks 100times better than those dodgey 17's you had

I prefer them to the ph1 rims you had too. Good work

Timmo · Post by **Timmo** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 8:46 pm

hahah! the 17's looked good but in honesty, if i knew that these wheels would have looked as good as they do then i wouldnt have bothered with the 17's loL!
The P1 rims i had beleive it or not were P2 ones painted silver as i found when i refurbed them when the 17's were on! lol! why anyone would want to do that i dont know and i agree that they wernt the best choice of wheel lol! always thought they let the side down if honest!

Yeah I agree, the ph2 wheels look ten times better than the ph1 ones. Can't agree with those 17's though mate, they just didn't suit the car in the slightest....spokes were too curvy and thin for a BX which is a wedge of a car.
But now you've excelled yourself.....these look the nuts!
