The seller claims that these wheels were in the original accessory handbook.

Different - but nice ?

Amen to that bro! To start with I though there was perhaps a ship yard with a steam riveter in the background...

Look like BBS wheels to me, are they really a genuine Citroen offering?
They look like they're off a BMW of G*lf but they have a different stud pattern to a BX.
Maybe BBS made the wheels for Citroen?

I can only quote the advertiser/owner, who says:
"Fälgarna fanns med i originaltillbehörskatalogen när bilen var ny, men de har tillkommit bilen under min ägo."
which, for those of you mnot bilingual, is:
The wheels were in the original accessories catalogue when the car was new, but have been added to this car while I have owned it.

He is asking about £80 for the set of wheels (lower price with standards).
