I start this topic cos I found this old pic of my fathers GSA.

I remember that I fixed and painted these wheels years ago
when I was small, to get some money for ice cream. Very Happy

Wheels were special cos I thin they were whit aluminium center and
metal out rim.

Some word about this GSA, It was whit most accesories of all GSA which
came to finland; open roof, (fake) leather interior, these special wheels. etc..
My father sold it to some Citroen "collector". Hope its still alive.

Another really special wheels I met in France last summer.
They were also this funky "metal-aluminium co-operation"

Arf, shame about having to drill the spokes to fit the 2cv PCD... Neutral

Didn't see that on the photo taken from a distance...

I think we should all ask geoff to make a 4 stud conversion at his engineering shop so we all have the choice. Lots of the Belgian 2cv cup cars have 4 stud wheels now.
i have done it but is a reasonable amount of work.
Unless someone knows if there is a conversion already available

Hi Pete

You are talking about machining original hubs and drums to accomodate 4 studs aren't you ? not making bolt on adapters ?

The second option does exist I believe... but the first option would be much much better....

Cheers

IMO 'Banded' widened standard 2cv rims look the best, about an inch deeper dish that standard. Id love a set for my Ami6 but they wont fit under rear arches, maybe for my 2cv though....

I think Ive just decided though, Ill be getting a set of rims banded for my 2cv, I wanted it finished for the end of the month, cant see that happeneing now, I keep adding to the 'want that' list!

Talking of wheels, anybody want to buy a set of GSA alloys?

Hi

Sorry, the photos aren't that great...

Here is a better pic :

They are Peugeot 203 rims...

-15 inch

-1 extra inch wide compared to 2cv Rims

-4 slits, like 2cv 400 rims... for that extra added old school look Wink

Quite easy.

Also fitted to Pug 403.

Only fitted on Saloon 203 and 403, though (Estates have 5 lug wheels)

Peugeot 404 have the same size wheels but with holes like AMI Super rims...
