Anyone in California want my brand new 18" wheels to swap with their 16"?

Just got a new 2023 Niro SX Touring with 18" profile rims that looks great, but I'd prefer the 16" wheels if you've got them.. it's an easy swap. Let me know.

Interested in checking out 16" alloy wheels for my 23 Niro HEV. What size 16" rim would be standard? 16X?? Currently have 18" Alloy rims with 2000+/- miles on them. Thanks!
I'd love to.. :)unfortunately too far away :( (Chicago...)

Darn - they're brand new, too (only a week old)... a road trip to California isn't a bad a idea LOL..
you're right.. a road trip to California is never a bad idea :)

Picked up my Niro three month ago... an EX with 16" stock alloys... and searching for nicer RIMS since quite some time as I am not the biggest fan of the stock ones.. contacted Tirerack already... and they have not measured the size yet..hence...nothing yet on their website... but I did manage to find out the stock "donut" spare tire size and build myself a fitting 16" spare tire...

I may just end up with 16" again... so i don't have to hunt down specs for an 18" donut tire... looking for O.Z. Rally Racing in dark graphite...

If you're interested in the specs (that I believe are correct / no guarantee...) :

16" 205/60/R16
RIM 6Jx16
18" 225/45/R18
RIM 7.5Jx18

Spare Donut 125/80D/16
RIM 16x4

no info on 18" donut...

for all:
bolt pattern: 5x114.3mm or 5x4.5"
lug thread M12x1.5
center bore 67.1mm
lug nut torque ~107-127Nm

since you have an SX the donut will not fit I guess because of the sub...

You are correct: there is no spare tire in the trunk for the 18s. They are super nice (esthetically speaking), I don't like that you can "see through them" (if that makes sense).. I like that the 16s are closed off.
Where are you guys finding 16x6.5 (6JX16) rims with an offset of 44-48? Some Kia Forte rims look like they'll fit but the offset is 50. Not sure that'll work.

i did not find one yet... I'll just wait for Tirerack to start populating their website...

I'd trade ya the 16's on off mine, but it'd be kind of a long drive LOL. Brand new Goodyear's on it, too.
