An original 2CV rim of unrivalled quality
The 2CV has had several models of wheels fitted since its original launch in October 1949 up to its end-of-production in 1990, with one constant feature: they have always had three mounting bolt holes. The very first models of 2CV wheel rims had a diameter of 400 mm and came with a flat edge so that they could be fitted with tires with an inner tube. From September 1959 onwards, the wheel diameter was reduced to 380 mm - ergo 15 inches. Later, from 1963 onwards, the introduction of tubeless tyres led to the 2CV being supplied with tubeless steel wheel rims with a prominent groove drilled out at the center to accommodate a chrome wheel hub. This wheel hub came from the Ami 6, and was first seen on the 2CV Azam before being adopted for many other models - notably most of the limited series of the vehicle that started with the 2CV Spot in 1976 (with the notable exception of the 007 and Basket models). The wheel hub is of smaller diameter and is attached with a special nut to the center of the painted wheel rim, to give it a two-tone look.
