Hey guys,
I don't have a winter set so I'm looking into buying new alloys + tires. I found 2 offers , Autec Delano 8J ET42 R18 or Alutec Monstr 7.5J ET40 R18, both on silver color. These 2 models are at a good price of around 400 EURO, new. OEM wheels are expensive and I'm not sure if the price really reflects into better quality.
What do you think will fit best? I really like Autec Delano, they are simple but good looking. What's your opinion regarding the fitment?
Thanks!
EDIT: Also, should I buy separate TMPS or can I switch them from the summer wheels?
@The Lone Wolve: your calculation doesnt add up if you intend to drive your car for more than two years, if youre willing to change the wheels yourself even less, because:
- Changing tires from rim to rim is between 80-120€ where I live, changing wheels costs 30-50€ or you could do it yourself (e.g. save 30-120€ per change).
- 19" winter tires are more expensive than 18"
- You will have more wear on your wheels due to frequent changing of tires, putting on and off of balancing weights, etc.
plus you need the same storage space anyway, doesnt matter if you put only tires or entire wheels there and if you sell the car, just sell it with winter wheels and you'll even get some bucks back.
Just got my winter set delivered. Rial Milano Titanium 7.5x18 with Hankook i*cept evo2.
Seems to look great on my MG. But to early to change yet
And for german TÜV: eintragungsfrei mit ABE

What did you pay for those beautys?
That was just about 1000 EUR for rims and tires including delivery. Not that bad...
Do you have any photos? Thinking about putting them on mine.They actually look very good (imho) ....
He lied or didnt know better. I have 18" wheels and dealers said too that they dont fit but checked from hyundai and they do fit. Driving around with stock hyundai 18" with no problem. Much better ride with 18" when you have studded Winter tyres that we use in finland.@Feri130 which wheels did you get? My dealer told me that 18" wheels wouldn't fit over brakes?
Nah, Climate Change or was that (Global Warming), is in affect!! Just ask, the loonies will tell you!Winter is coming!
