Winter wheels

[Savage]

Dragging an old thread up as in the same position ...

Looking at the stock 18 on this pic, looks like larger discs will run it close:



Also, no V1's available as Ecoboost, maybe the reason is 18" spec wheels.

Now I have a Born, I can say with the 19's on my e-boost, there is only the width of my index finger between the calipers and the wheel inner face.
Given that, I suspect 18's would be very close, if not fouling the e-boost cars calipers.

Which doesn't leave much choice for a good all season in the 19" sizes. The Michelin cross climates not in that size, the next best looks to be Pirelli Cinturato all seasons, on tyre ratings at least.

Reviving an old thread here. I got a quote for the the OEM winter wheels at £1600 for a set of 4. The 20" set was £2400 and I wouldn't want to go for a bigger alloy on a winter wheel (or spend that much money). Shame they don't do a 19" option as the 18" wheels don't look great.

Has anyone fitted All Season tyres to their Born? If so, how have you found the car over winter? They seem to do a decent range that would fit the 19" wheels now, like the Michelin CrossClimate 2. I've never used all season tyres before, but had full winters for a few cars now. Quite like the idea of not swapping tyres/wheels every six months.

Why don’t you just go online and order a complete set of 19” wheels with the tyres you want?

If I lived in the uk, all seasons would be a no brainier for me. The best you can buy are the Pirelli Cinturato SF3, coming out top with no weaknesses (apart from price maybe).

I got my dads tyres from mytyres.co.uk which is the same site that most Europeans use (reifendirekt) just a different make.

My 19” tyres are 215/50/19T in case that helps (summer are 20”)

There didn't seem be a set of Cupra 19" wheels available. Only 18" and 20". I like to maintain the look of the car so put off aftermarket wheels. Hence why I'll prob just go for all seasons on the 19s I have on it. Thanks for the video link, watched some of his before but hadn't spotted this one.

Have a set of Borbet AE 20" wheels i got used with the same width and offset as they oem 20" wheels for£600 and they had Bridgestone tyres fitted. Got a set of Bridgestone winter tyres part worn for £250 with 6mm of tread.

You can order OEM wheels from Cupra, I had the option when I bought the car but the price was mental, 1 wheel 1000 chf! The pn was 10E601025M, google it and you see them. My wheels ended up being a cheaper copy from Brock I believe.
