Got a set of 16" Hyundai Alloys left over, that I used for my snow tyres on the Tucson.

I plan to use them on the Patriot for either All Terrain or Snow tyres, probably 235/60r16 as was on the Tucson or 235/70r16 as I have lots of those from my Land Rover parts collection.

Anyone else using Hyundai wheels?

Borderspeed, how did you like the Tucson? Was it more powerful than the Patriot?

Equipment levels, ride and build quality couldn't be faulted, I had the 2.0 petrol CDX version which was 138Bhp and had to be revved a lot to get up to speed, my father had the turbo diesel version which was a better all rounder, although I hear good things about the 2.7 V6 version but just couldn't cope with the fuel consumption.

Dealers are good over here as well, plus five year warranty!

Haven't driven a petrol Patriot but would expect the jeep to edge the 2.0 petrol Tucson on power and torque although tuning chips can be had for them, same engine as in the coupe and it's really a Mitsubishi engine.

Nice but too bling for my liking and certainly not for offroad!

Right finally got round to trying one of these on the Patriot today.

See attached pics< tried putting the Jeep centre cap on the Hyundai wheels but its not wide enough so will probably just get decals to cover the logo.

Looks good. Just cover the center logo and it would look better.

Just paint the center cap. It's not very hard. I work at a Hyundai dealership and have a set of these caps that I could paint an aluminum color for you if you want.

If the center caps don't bother you, don't sweat it. I don't think anyone is going to look that closely, and if they do, so what?

What size are they, width and height?

Update:
Finally fitted these wheels with my 235/70r16 winter tyres.

I have also fitted Jeep logos to the wheel centres but haven't taken pics yet!

Very wet day so apologies for quality of pics, also one pic shows clearance between tyre and front strut.

Overall it rides a bit better and has gained ground clearance which will be a bonus in the snow

epper:
