stock rims on a i30 Fastback
So I stopped by the dealership yesterday morning - the N can take a 7.5x18 rim and these would fit, but he stated they are crazy priced. One rim was around €550. He recommended ebay if that was my intentions. <gulp>.
 
only the rim? do you have a link?
the wheels on Hyundaizubehör.de are with sensor and tyre and cost a lot less.
 
@Darthy, Yes the link you posted is for the TPMS that I bought, but I want to check something out with Karl at UK Parts Direct.

When I ordered these, I did request these for my "N" which has 19" rims and tyre pressures of 38 PSI Rear and 35 PSI Front, but I have put these on 18" rims which are 36 PSI front and 33 PSI rear and I found that the TPMS indicated shown a warning on 1 of my rear tyres at 32 PSI, so I want to ask him what makes the TPMS warning come on? Is it the program in the cars software or is it programmed on the actual TPMS? If it is the TPMS, do we need to ask for these to be programmed differently for the 19" rims and the 18" rims when ordering these sensors?

I hope to speak to him this week and will advise you all.

Managed to speak to Karl and he advised me that they only programme the sensors to work on the car that they are to go on.

The pressure that the warning light for the TPMS comes on, is apparently set in the software on the car.

I will need to speak to Hyundai to find out if the pressure can be changed when using an 18" rim for winter tyres, as this is what Hyundai recommend to use.

To all our European Owners that are required to use winter tyres by law, Have you had any problems with the TPMS warning light coming on using winter tyres?

Hi @Andrew Fuller , have you had a chance to speak to Hyundai about this? Looking to get something sorted as soon as possible for winter :)
 
I was told by hyundai that (with original tpms sensors) you don't need to do anything or change anything, programming wise. The recommended pressure sits on a label on the interior side of the driver's door.

So if I buy a set of these: https://hyundaizubehoer.de/de/i30-n...dai-magnit-75x18-et495-5x1143-671-silver.html do you think I should be able to swap out my factory fitted 19" wheels and everything should work okay (and the brake calipers would fit too) on my N Performance?

Thanks
 
Anyone fitted alloys from other makes, like kia or toyota and the likes. Looking at some for winter but would like to know the correct wheel fitment. I dont want to go out and spend a fortune just yet on new alloys, as im enjoying the car first before then. But then again, you can get some cheap end alloys and tyres for winter at nearly what people are asking for used ones. Im just brain bubbling for now. Ive seen some sparco (assetto) ones and some wolfrace ones (milano's) that i quite like, but im not willing to spend on OZ or bbs just yet, but would love bbs nurburgring. Like i said, just bubbling for now, and ive probably answered my own question anyway..lol
 
Seen some mazda 3 ones ,that have the correct offset and bore, and refurbished:)
The i30 already has a striking resemblance to the Mazda 3 already... wheels would finish it off :cool:. No bad thing tho, loved my Mazda 3- just wished it had more power.
