After Market Alloy Wheels

[RachyBaby]

Hi,

 

I've just bought a 54 plate C4 2.0 HDi VTS. I'm thinking (once I get a few problems sorted out) about upgrading the alloy wheels to after market 18" ones but was wondering what to do about the tyre pressure monitors. I believe these are transponders in the valves on the current wheels. Can I get these moved over on the new wheels? Also if the required tyre pressures are different how can I get the monitor system to change the warning levels?

 

Thanks,

 

Rachael

Check on www.c4owners.org where several guys have done this.

 

You can also get advice about buying and fitting new wheels.

 

You'll know that your new wheels will have to have the correct offset and so on to clear the brakes, and your speedo may under/over read by a fraction, but you may also need an adaptor plate to ensure the wheel sits absolutely concentrically - otherwise you'll have horrendous vibration.

Hi John,

 

Thanks very much for the info. I'll check out the other forum and see what I can find out :unsure:
