I am about to fit these Kia Wheels to the i30 - You mention 16", but these Wheels are 17". Think they are off a Cerato or Forte.Would have had them fitted already - but came across a problem with the centre caps. The ones that came with the Wheels have Kia written on them, so bought a new set of Hyundai centre caps. When the caps arrived i found them to be too big for the Kia rims. No returns were possible so i sanded them down around the edges and cut off the retaining springs. Will just glue the Hyundai caps on after the Wheelas are fitted.Rocket.
I paid $80 for the centre caps and was made aware that there are no returns on them if they did not fit. The new caps have the Hyundai logo on them so i would prefer to modify these and just glue them on. They will have brand new tyres fitted and probably would not need to be re balanced for a long time.Plan B is to do as rustynutz suggested and sand off the kia writing on the old ones.Have checked the offset and it is fine for the i30.Big question now is which tyres to have fitted? Leaning toward the Dunlop SP Sports due to good reports of them being quiet tyres that will last for about 60,000 klm. Anybody have opinions on the best tyres to use?Rocket.
Sorry for late reply.Kia Ceed alloy's (all of them 15-17") fit 100% on Hyundai i30 and i30CW. I had 16" from Ceed on my i30.The ones above look like they are from Sorento? They should fit regarding center hole and the "holes pattern" (5×114,3) but you shuld check the offset (ET). It if's too small, they will stick out, if it's too big, they will rub inside. Though i think they'll be ok.
Shambles, accim replied in the affirmative as above on the 24th december, so yes - balzerVRS has his answer.

Maybe it should be in the Tyres thread, too but not till balzer returns or he may not be able to find it.
