After 5 years of owning it, I still can’t get over the fact that the wheels look comically undersized.

14 inch? PSA had a thing for undersized wheels. My 406 has 15 inch wheels, which are too small for the car as well. 205/60/15 tires.

They do, especially if you compare it to the Xsara WRC...

They’re 195/65/15, which are the standard one. My set of summer wheels has low-profile tires (bought the wheels liek that), and they look even smaller.

They seem fine to me.
BTW, my first car was a Xsara:

Oh, that’s the wheels I have on my summer tires!

I actually really like driving the car, but I can’t wait to move on to something different either :)

That’s close to my car’s original tire size. The previous owner went up to 17" wheels but they were heavy and the ride quality suffered badly, so I went back down to 15" wheels/tires. They still look “small,” but as long as they handle and ride well and are fairly cheap I can live with that.

Yay! Xsara! Always liked the looks of the Xsara actually, and they’re supposed to be decent for basic reliable transport. We never got them here in Canada though! :)

My ‘09 Hyundai Accent hatch also has 14" wheels - I never thought they looked small.....maybe it’s all in the specific car design (those are 14" ‘98 North American-spec Ford Escort rims though, btw):

You know you want to import one.

Do it.

Maybe someday, haha! I want to have an Italian car (FIAT 126) and some sort of French car sometime down the road....I do have a thing for the classic Peugeot 204/304/504s though....

Or, of course, the 2CV! :)
