I have a MK8 GTE with the standard 17” wheels. I think they are way to small. Is there any reason these couldn’t be changed to something like 19” Pretoria’s? Does the suspension need to be tweaked?

I'm looking for a set of plastic wheel inserts, I took my spare wheels to be re-painted and some of the inserts have gone missing. Anyone have some for sale?

Hello everyone! I have a Golf GTE mk 7.5 with 17" Seville wheels and want to upgrade to 18" ones as I'd seen them on a GTD and made the car look a lot nicer, I've attached a photo of the GTD. I want to make my GTE look like that but ain't sure if the back end will be the same as it seems my...

I’m considering a new set of aftermarket wheels for my 2021 BYD Song Plus EV (I’m based in China). I wanted to see if anyone could help me understand what to consider when changing wheel styles. My stock rims are 19” (235/50R19), and my thoughts were to keep the same size and even change over...

As my BMW i3 is now sold, and the new owner didn't fancy these, I thought I would offer them here. Standard winter tyre size 155/70 R19 88Q rated, with Bridgstone Blizzack LM-500 tyres fitted. Tyres are quite worn and probably only good for one more winter. Treads are (approx): OSR : Outer 3mm...

Well, I own a model Y right now, and I’m thinking about refit my wheels to aftermarket wheels. The problem is that all aftermarket wheels that I prefer are really big wheels. I’m afraid that those big wheels won’t fit, what if they scratch the fenders or brake calipers? So I search on the...

Just picked up the referral wheels this week from the SC and looking to sell them. As noted above these are brand new and never used and include Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. I am based in SW London and collection is preferred although am happy to meet the buyer at a supercharger nearby if that...

My latest video is now out and even if you don't own an electric vehicle this may be of interest to you: A dedicated Series of Wheels for EVs

So this is not a thread about "Where is my car with 19s!?!?". More a discussion on why we think there is such a hold up. I'd like to know people's opinions on why they think there is a delay. Also why they have been removed from the M3 spec builder as an option but are still available in...

I have an Oct 2018 Tekna 40kWH Leaf which is showing signs of rust on the wheel hubs, particularly at the front but on all four wheels. See photo. It's not in an area which touches the brake discs or pads so it is not polished off as you brake and cannot be accessed unless you remove the...

Just a heads up as I have to find them in the shed, at least one is refurbished rim. As soon as I have them I will post here, lower price for Ampera Forum members. Phil

I'm looking for a set of winter wheels/tyres for my 2016 i3 BEV. Please contact me if you have a set to sell...

I’m hoping someone can help or advise. As we’ve now bought out our PCPd Zoe, I’m thinking of getting a set of winter tyres which I’ll look to use half the year. My intention is to pick up a set of steel wheels and put winter tyres on these however I’m aware that my car has the TPMS system...

Hi , Need a set of wheels slightly more agricultural than the 21's currently on my Model S. So if anyone has a spare set of 19 inch wheels please get in touch. Cheers

Am I correct in thinking that the alloy wheel cleaners that you get are just for the wheel spokes? Can you use it to clean the brake disc too? Should you/How do you clean the brake discs? I find they are getting red/dusty quite often probably because of the regenerative braking/less use of...

Hi Folks I'm just finalising my Passat GTE saloon order, final choice, which alloys? The standard look fine, but the other two options are only £105 more and there will soon be lots of Passat GTEs in the staff car park. Can't decide so thought I'd ask the experts. That's you guys btw! The...

Has anybody put aftermarket alloy wheels on their Ampera? I love the car except the wheels which I categorically detest. Before I spend quite a lot of money on some round metal I'd like to see whether anybody else has done anything similar. Pictures would be great! Thanks in advance :)

After nearly a month and 400 miles, my new second-hand Zoe had developed a strange knocking sound from around the front offside. It sounded like a worn CV joint - unlikely with only 2.8k miles on the clock - it turned out to be loose wheel nuts on the front offside wheel. Re-tightened to 105 nm...
