Hello, I have had an accident in my i30N and my front wheels need replacing. Has anyone got any wheels for sale? They are just the regular factory wheels but I don't want to buy new if I can help it.

Please comment even if you don't have any but know where to get some.

Thank you.
 
Oh no! :( A few people got spares at fairly reasonable prices in the Wheels thread, but they’re still about £260+ each. I think they list the dealers they got them from

I was asking about the rims at the local service delivery and im thinking hoping I must have remembered wrong, pretty sure they said each rim was like $1.5k+

Burnt, I was quoted $2100!!!! per rim by my dealership. Which is why I sold mine (with 1000 km tyres) for $2800, and bought aftermarket rims, lightweight, high quality 18" rims with new RE003s for $2900. Yes that was for FOUR, not one.
 
One (1) 19" standard i30N rim without tyre and without TPMS sensor does not cost 1.500 dollars or 2.100.

Maverick, I suggest you call Westpoint Hyundai located in Indooroopilly, Queensland, Australia, on +61738780431. Opening hours 8am to 5pm Eastern Australian Time (no daylight saving).

http://westpointhyundai.com.au/hyundai-parts-brisbane.html

I called them 30 seconds ago to get a confirmation of the price of a genuine 19" replacement wheel for a 2018 PDe Hyundai i30N Perfermance model.

It was NOT 2100 as I glibly suggested.

The price was exactly $2102.00 AUD including GST, for ONE rim, no tyre, no TPMS module, and NO centre cap included.

So whilst the wheels may NOT cost that much in the Black Forest, they certainly DO cost that much in Australia. Do I think it is an absolute rip off, yes, do I think you should check your facts before claiming something that is absolutely correct not correct because you don't think it sounds right, yes also.

I stand by my claim that (IN AUSTRALIA) replacing the OEM wheels with better quality, lighter, and better looking aftermarket wheels makes perfect sense if you can offload the OEM wheels like I did. It cost me less than $100 to trade up to 18" SSR wheels and 245/40R18 RE003s. The P-Zeros here are:

https://www.jaxtyres.com.au/tyres/brands/pirelli/p-zero?pid=77168&sSize= $425.00 a corner, that's $1700 for 4.

The RE003s are $265.00, and I bought them on a 4 for 3 special that Bridgestone run at least twice a year in Australia, so I bought them $795.00 for 4 tyres. The SSR wheels, imported from Japan cost $1900 for 4 wheels and 4 genuine SSR caps. The Mugen heptagon nuts cost about $170.00. Total cost $2865, and I sold my 4 OEM wheels and tyres (WITHOUT the TPM sensors) for $2800.

At full price, I will save about $700 every time I buy new tyres, if I buy when on special, I can save even more. And I get a more comfortable ride.

@Corsa59 apologies. It is a bit hard to believe that they cost like 3 times more than here in Europe. The car should cost 90k to justify that price, it doesn't make much sense. :rolleyes:

Same here - I have full 1500km driven set (wheels, tyres, sensors, nuts) to sell cheap (1000€) but I´m also from Poland :(

This is why we call this the "Australia Tax" :mad:
Lets charge them some outrageous price for a product. What are they going to do? They are on a bloody great island at the bottom of the planet thousands of kilometres from anywhere. They will have to pay through the nose or they don't get the product.
We can just triple the normal price we charge elsewhere and tell them it is freight costs or the value of the Australian Dollar compared to USD.
Ahhh globalisation - you gotta love it.

No sweat! Apology accepted!

Seriously if I had known the price of spare parts for this car, I would not have bought it. But tbh all cars in Australia are subject to the same extortionate spare parts prices.

No wonder I haven't bought a new car for over 20 years. My last NEW car purchase was a 1997 Honda prelude.

20 years of pure Hond vtec joy with fantastic reliability, 8400 and 8800 red lines, and natural aspiration. Oh how I long for another na vtec Honda. Looking for a mint s2000 ap2 now!

My 1999 Honda HRV with B18C7 transplant still makes me smile every time I drive it.
