i was given a 1986 2cv ,in very bad condition,so bad it couldnt be restored,so i took the engine and gearbox out,and i am now building a trike.
so do any of you know if it is possible to get alloy wheels to fit the 2cv,as i would like to have 2 for the trike.

Not for a reasonable price, best option is too use spacers so you can use regular rims.

had thought of that,i might cut the outer drive and sleeve it to suit a 4 stud hub.but was hoping to keep the final drive original.

Looking Nice!

I'm only wondering wether using no suspension in the back was a good idea..?

i always had it in mind to build a hardtail chopper,but i think a hardtail trike ,might be a better option,if it doesn't work ,it will be easy enough to convert it to springs.
but thats still a while away

In England, at 2CV City Halifax, i have seen these alloys.
Specially for 2CV, Le Patron.
