I' m thinking of changing my Activa's standard alloys with 16" ones, without affecting the "offset".
Do you have details about the car's geometry (offset)
Do you know any known brands to have nice designs?
Thank You

I wouldn't have thought an Activa would need specially strong wheels, the Xantia isn't particularly heavy. Cornering forces aren't the biggest forces that the wheels on the car have to put up with, bumps in the road give much bigger forces and the car has to be robust so people can drive it up and down curbs etc without it breaking.
