205 GTi Pepperpot Speedlines
205 GTi Pepperpot Speedlines
Got my 205 GTi Speedlines fitted today, I think they look great, only managed a quick snap on my phone but I thought i'd share it here anyway. I got them off ebay, now they're by no means concours but they have polished up rather well considering they were only £50 with four good tyres.

More photo's will follow once i've finished cleaning her up, got a couple of bodywork bits to have sorted then i'm going to do a full machine polish. What colour actually is it? Looks close to Olympic Blue but i'm not sure.

I'd never seen those Peugeot alloys on a BX before - then 2 in one day - they look great. Could be a new trend?

Re: 205 GTi Pepperpot Speedlines
That takes me back.....my first car was a BX 14RE in Ivory with a set of those alloys, along with a GTi interior and an AX GT carb/inlet setup.
I miss that car

Re: 205 GTi Pepperpot Speedlines
Speaking as one of those tiresome correct wheel Nazis; none Citroen alloys on a BX? NO!!. Absolument pas! ( )
But, I have to say they look great - perhaps it's that period PSA stylee type thing!? I think the Royal Society of Citroen Correct Wheel Nazis should consider admitting the Peugeot Pepper Pot Alloy as an honorary member into the 'BX wheel hall of fame'?

Re: 205 GTi Pepperpot Speedlines
Apparently C5 16" alloys bolt straight on (I know a chap with ared TZD Turbo with some on and they do look quite ace), theres a set WITH tyres and bolts for £110, not sure if you would need skinnier tyres though as they are 215 section so may catch?

Re: 205 GTi Pepperpot Speedlines
At 215 they'd definately rub. Plus I've had 16's on the 16v before and it ruined the ride/drive of it. I even gave up with 15's before deciding that not only did the standard Speedlines ride/drive the best, they looked right too.
But on a 14 or 19D or something basic, these look the part IMO.

Re: 205 GTi Pepperpot Speedlines
I did see a BX some years ago in the Radstock area, (Somerset) with ZX volcane alloys on it.
Trust me, it looked PANTS!

Re: 205 GTi Pepperpot Speedlines
Lol! I can imagine! Chris White used to run ZX 16v rims on his 16v.....I was unsure whether I liked them enough to go for them myself, but they looked better than most.smiffy1071 wrote:I did see a BX some years ago in the Radstock area, (Somerset) with ZX volcane alloys on it.

Oh yeah, course they are....bugger!
But if they were made in 14", I bet they'd look great!

Re: 205 GTi Pepperpot Speedlines
I know they fitted CX Turbo wheels to the 4TC but are they 5 stud fixings?
