Id' like to get some nicer wheels for my 2011 I30. today it has the factory 16's  with hankook's . How much would changing to 17 or 18's affect my fueleconomy?

My car is silver. I was thinking rims with darkcenter and crome outerring. any other ideas?

Hi Mr Snowman,

I like black wheels with silver rim (with a silver car)... look great with a red car too.

The larger wheels should have a minimal effect on fuel economy and may even make an improvement if you opt for some low rolling resistance (eco) tyres...

If you go to 18" or bigger your ride will firm up considerably though and the cost of replacement tyres (particularly good ones) jumps up a lot

Hej Mr Snowman from Sweden! you could get some 17" rims with 205/50/17 tyres depending on the width of the rim theoretically they shouldn't use any more fuel as they are the same width as the 16" rims 205/55/16 tyres. Thats what I did anyway

Hallå landskamrat!

Har en 2011 i30 crdi själv och kör med 18" fälgar på den med 225/40-18 utan problem, det som blir är att det blir lite mera vägljud men inte så det stör men väghållningen på bilen ökar avsevärt!! Såklart blir bilen stötigare så det är väl ingenting för den som vill åka mjuk å komfortabelt. Jag själv har inga problem med mina 18 tummare och då bor jag i norrland också med våra vägar... Har även åkt långa sträckor motorväg m.m utan att bli trött på stötigheten så jag är mycke nöjd!

It gets a little Google translate for the rest of you who do not speak Swedish

No Google needed here..

I don't speak Swedish and I also don't speak Google translate, so here's my take on it:

Hallå landskamrat!

Hello you scamming rat.

Har en 2011

I had hair in 2011

i30 crdi själv och kör med 18" fälgar

My i30 salivates on my 18 inch falcon

på den med 225/40-18 utan problem

Ma father, Dennis, has worked out that your orang-utan is overweight

det som blir är att det blir lite

It's your turn for the beers... I'll have a Lite

mera vägljud men inte så det stör men

Do you like men? I'm into shopkeepers

väghållningen på bilen ökar avsevärt!!

I think I'm going to be sick, or fart

Såklart blir bilen stötigare så det är väl ingenting för den som

We're back on the beers again, with our Valerie.

vill åka mjuk å komfortabelt. Jag själv

I'm salivating again, over your silver Jaguar, but it is rather comfy

har inga problem med mina 18 tummare

I've washed my hair 18 times today and can't do a thing with it

och då bor jag i norrland också med våra vägar

Like I said before, my Jaguar pulls birds so you won't need viagra

Har även åkt långa sträckor motorväg

My hair's too long - it catches the wind on the motorway

utan att bli trött på stötigheten så jag är mycke nöjd!

I knew we'd have trouble with orang-utan - it's got the shits and has now mucked up my Jaguar

Good one Steve..

Don't know what the original said, but I like your translation, Steve.

A great Swedish lesson - did you first translate it into Swahili, from that into French then from that into English?..................

I once took a paragraph in English and for a bit of fun used Google to translate it into German, then French, then Italian, then Polish and back to English. It was total gobbledegook.

Love it.

Magnus,everyone has there own likes and dislikes,I personally like polished alloys over black,some like chrome,others like the weirder colours.
before changing your wheels double check with your appropriate authorities,to see what you can leaglly change wheels to,I know over here,you are not allowed legally to change the rolling radius of your wheels by more than 3%,you may have similar regs to that,there are literally thousands of wheels out there,you just have to keep looking till you find what you want,some Wheel and Tyre centres have computer programs where they can show you different variants on your car before you purchase,maybe you could find one of them over there.
go through the gallery,some of the members here have changed their wheels,it may give you some idea's,On my photo's I have two almost identical cars,one with the standard 16"s and one with 17" alloy on black mags,no special reason,just to put pic's of our I30's up

A great Swedish lesson
