There seems to be some disparity between forums about these wheels. On here, a search would largely suggest they are aluminium. Where as on the 106 forum, and indeed some 'for sale' items ive seen over the years on the net, it would suggest they are in fact magnesium.Does anyone actually KNOW? ________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

I can't see anyway that Citroën would ever use magnesium! The wheels would be worth more than the car :-s________________________________________ banned for drifting. back in the s**tbox scene. |
