If you can find them down there, the "steelies" fitted to Citroen C5s are actually alloy, nice looking/stealthy upgrade, light and wide.
15 x 6", et 18. 4.7kg each (Cyclones are 9kg each)
You want the later ones stamped "ps815011".

...to clear up confusion..
C5's that were shipped from Europe came with these wheels as transport wheels to save weight for shipping costs. Many were given hubcaps and sold on with these wheels fitted, but the early ones were found to crack around the bolt holes, hence needed the specific part number stamped into them that Scott mentioned.
Also they're almost a ceramic kind of alloy. If anyone's ever shotblasted them like I did with mine, you'll see they're actually quite porous and brittle looking.
Amazingly light though, I nearly fell over lifting them, when I sold them I carried all four wheels at the same time to the courier van.

Re the Citroen C5 wheels, that's what's on there! They are crazy light. I didn't buy the original cyclones with the car as didn't want to pay the extra 300. Easy enough to find a set in the future anyway.
Did list the the cars non standard bits?
Specifically ground cam
Very free flowing exhaust
Lightened flywheel
Short shift
Bronze jointed linkages
Solid / roller bearing wishbones
Hybrid rear arb and torsion bar setup
Plus the light wheelsIt goes very well and is hilarious above 5000 rpm. Turn in is sharp and the gear box is like the often referred to rifle bolt action.
Not bad for small monies.

Yep, not many at all. Although I've done the wrong thing and bought a cheap one that needs work. But I'm hoping to keep it to essential stuff only and just drive the wheels off it. I think here in aus there's about 30 to 50 left. But the good ones are being kept forever. I looked at a few and this old red one "talked" to me and I liked the owners... I'm a sucker.
