Hi all

Anyone know how much a new alloy wheel for the Racing is?

Cheers

Dave

I spoke to citroen about getting a set of the racing alloys for my car. I was quoted £500 per wheel and that's without a tyre! £3000 in all it would have cost. Guess not then!

[DaveH]

£500!!
Blimey that will teach me to catch a wheel on the kerb, only 500 miles on the clock too :-(
Must concentrate harder in the future.

Send Ross Farley a PM and ask him how much it will cost if he can get a racing alloy for you.....

Blimey indeed!! That's exactly what I said. I really like the look of the racing wheels but at that cost I can't justify it. I was also told it would put my speedo out cause of the size difference. Apparently the ride would be awful too. Guess ill be sticking with the bellones! Sorry about your wheel!

Yup, the ride is awful....I find myself bracing every time I see a pothole

Probably get it refurbed bout £80-100

I actually dont mind the ride, the seats are extremely supportive and take most of the knocks from rough roads. Hehe if you want to feel a harsh ride try a new shape Civic type R mine used to drive me batshit!

[lfcrule1972]

I wondered about the refurb too, unless the wheel is splt/cracked

[Chris_Blue]

Rides quite hard on THP too- when i test drove the Racing they seemed similar- Racing a bit lower

Hi I find the ride on mine is fine firm but not hard any way having new b14s on soon get my racing right down.

[lfcrule1972]

I want to know how the DS3r feels, suspension wise now.....

[DaveH]

Ok my local dealer has quoted £497.87 including VAT.
I had considered getting the wheel repaired but the last repair I had done to my previous car was not that good even though the company claimed the job would be invisible.
