EXer’s....18 inch wheel options? pics?

[Telly20]

Any EXer’s out there considering or have replaced the 18inch oem wheels with aftermarket 18s while keeping the oem tires?? And if you have do you have pics? Considering aftermarket 20s too but wondering if the look is worth the upgrade cost in wheels +tires....

That’ll look sharp! 18’s or 20s?
I’ll go the same route with my stock wheels as well

Another member posted these and said it was a nice balance between ride and appearance . Some have noted that the 20's look out of place with the boxy design , plus larger sidewalls are cheaper on the wallet .

Got these Asanti 20s coming any day now! We'll post pics as soon as they are installed!

I emailed Kia Canada to see why we couldn't factory order black wheels here and as part of their response they gave me the Kia branded wheels that are available at the dealerships. Pretty expensive in my opinion but thought I'd post it anyway as another option.

Finally clear of those Canadian KIA OEM Wheels!!

Love the look with these new Asanti abl 11 black gloss 20s!!

Not as pretty but we got winter tires on 18s from Fast (model Switch/Titanium). Looks decent to tackle Alberta winter.

I got 18 inch for my Winter tires as well
5-114.3. 18x8.5 Replika R241
bore wheel from 64.1 to 67.1 ($40/wheel)

245/60 R18 tires

I wonder why did you decide to go with Continental winter tires? Was it recommended or based on price?
The reason why I'm asking, when I did my research - top tires were Nokian Hakka, Michelin X Ice and Bridgestone Blizzaks.

How did you pick them?

Hmm… it was just a brand preference
I had the Continental Winter tires for my previous cars and they seems to be fine. (I have a feeling that the Contintental preform better on snow covered roads and Michelin would do better on highway)
$208.99 plus tax, Environmental fee
