Very nice rims! I notice from the website they are a 38 offset so will look wider than the 45 offset Hyundai rims on mine. Great choice :-)

Hi!
They are available with 38 and 48 offset but the recommendation for i30 are 48 offset...
So I bought them with 48 offset...

Nice!

anyone knows how much is one 19 wheels in UK?
in Brazil it costs around R$10-12.000, around 5.500 US Dollars
too expensive.

Hi gbranco!
Example:
These nice 19" rims cost about 321 US Dollars per piece in Sweden...
But you can buy 19" rims from 200 US Dollars per piece in Sweden...
I don't know how much they cost in the UK... But in Germany they cost much less than in Sweden...
Everything is very expensive in Sweden compared to Germany and the UK. :twisted:
I don't know if you can mount 19" rims on the i30 (i think 18" is maximum)...
Cheers!

The aftermarket 19" rims suitable for the i30 listed on ebay in the UK run from £530 to £1100 a set depending on design and how greedy the seller is. Without tyres.

You are gonna wait until the end of winter???????
MANNN i could never do this... the way i am, the second i bought me those rims, THE NEXT DAY they would be on the car, with snow tyres of course!!!
Ifffffffffffff my i30 arrives eventually, someday ill put some 19" on them....

Hi!
Winter here in Southern Sweden is terrible.
For the most part of the winter temperature is around 0 degrees celsius and hardly any snow at all, but a lot of ice on the roads and therefore we use a lot of salt on the roads and it takes hard on the cars and especially the wheels.
Therefore, I wait with the mount of my new rims until spring and I have also anti-rust treated my car.
In Northern Sweden, however, they have a lot of snow and temperatures are mostly between -10 to -30 degrees celsius in winter and there is no salt on the roads.

Hi!
New wintertyres are now on the car...
I selected Goodyear Ultra Grip 7 + 205/55-16.
Not the best tires on the market, but has a low price...
Very quiet compared to the original "bakelite" Kumho tires and have much more grip on wet roads...
It feels like a different car to drive... :) :) :)

They look REALLY good. I could use some of those, but like 99% of the other UK drivers I drive on one set of tyres all year round. One of the reasons why the place comes to a standstill if there are more than three flakes of snow :rolleyes:

Yes really cold! "The beam freezes before it reaches the hill when you take a piss outside."

They should be a good tyre! :wink:

They should be a good tyre! :wink:
I hope so... got pretty good test results in Germany...
They seem to be quiet and have good grip in both wet and dry conditions.
And they are not so expensive... :) 950 SEK/each including fitting and balancing and mounting on the car.

Hi!
Spring is here and my new rims are now on the car...
Lowering kit is ordered and will be installed shortly...
Pictures are taken with my mobile phone...
