DS rims
DS wheel rims - overview
Avant-garde, elegance and French style on wheels
DS Automobiles, the premium brand from the Stellantis Group, stands for refined design, high-quality workmanship and advanced technologies. Models such as the DS 3, DS 4, DS 7 or the business saloon DS 9 are based on an independent design language that combines French luxury aesthetics with state-of-the-art vehicle technology. A key design element of these vehicles are the wheels, which contribute to the visual identity as well as influencing the driving characteristics and efficiency.
Original DS wheels
The original rims from DS are specially adapted to the respective models and reflect the avant-garde style of the brand. They are characterised by high-quality materials, precise fit and individual designs that harmonise perfectly with the striking body lines. Many rims have also been designed to be aerodynamically optimised - particularly important for the electrified E-TENSE models.
Typical colour variants of the original DS rims are:
-
Silver or platinum painted - classic and classy
-
Matt or glossy black - sporty and modern, especially for performance variants
-
Graphite or anthracite - for a technical, elegant look
-
Bi-colour designs with polished or diamond-cut surfaces - exclusive and expressive
Many DS rims discreetly integrate the DS logo into the rim cover and feature geometric patterns that match the brand's design language. Diamond-cut surfaces are often used on models such as the DS 4 or DS 7, which are particularly striking in the light.
Aluminium rims from other well-known manufacturers for DS vehicles
In addition to the original rims, the aftermarket offers a wide range of aluminium rims from renowned rim manufacturers that are compatible with DS models. These rims enable additional customisation, for example through different colour concepts, weight reduction or eye-catching designs.
Suitable brands for DS vehicles are:
-
Borbet - timeless, elegant designs with high suitability for everyday use
-
Ronal - classic rims with technical precision
-
AEZ and DOTZ - striking rims for sporty accents
-
Alutec - modern and youthful-looking designs at attractive prices
-
OZ Racing - high-quality, sporty-inspired rims for dynamic drivers
These accessory rims are available in variants such as matt, high-sheen, polished or multi-coloured painted and usually come with ABE or ECE approval. Technical aspects such as load capacity, bolt circle and TPMS compatibility are taken into account.
Common inch sizes and offsets of DS rims
The inch sizes and offset depths (ET) vary depending on the model and equipment. Typical rim dimensions for DS vehicles are:
-
16-inch to 17-inch rims: for compact models such as the DS 3
-
17-inch to 19-inch rims: for DS 4 and DS 7 in standard and performance versions
-
19-inch to 20-inch rims: for DS 9 or DS 7 E-TENSE with a special design focus
Depending on the model, the offsets are usually between ET 25 and ET 45. For wider rims or sportier set-ups, a lower offset is often selected in order to position the wheels further out in the wheel arch and thus achieve a more striking look.
Design variants of the DS rims
The design language of DS rims is characterised by geometry, dynamics and sophistication. Common shapes are:
-
Double-spoke rims - sporty and delicate, ideal for DS 4 or DS 7
-
Multi-spoke rims - technical and elegant, often found on DS 9
-
V-spoke rims - striking and stable, suitable for SUV models
-
Turbine designs - aerodynamic and futuristic, favoured for E-TENSE versions
-
Asymmetrical and diamond-cut designs - typical for DS, with high recognition value
The rims at DS not only contribute to functionality, but also make a decisive contribution to the brand identity - elegant, innovative and always with a touch of French extravagance.
