[16 cylinder]

Hi there!

I have ordered the ev6 gt line with the 20" black and silver wheels...however I want them all black. Looking close at the design it could look like this is a wheel which is pieced together...which means the silver parts may just clicked off...have anyone seen it live and taken a close look at the wheels?

from memory the silver part is structural but could be painted or powder coated....

What I saw last week on an 'EV6 experience' was that the black part looks like 'plastic'.
It looked that it was clicked in or something like that.

oh, you might be right I was thinking about the silver parts. It's a bit of a faff but you could remove the tyre, remove the plastic parts and either paint or powder coat the whole wheel. You would need to rebalance obviously. I would also only fill with Nitrogen as you get less pressure variation with temperature changes.

I could look like it is the black bits which are plastic...that would be like on the Tesla 3, due to less drag...so it will be interesting to see if this is the case and how the wheel looks behind the plastic! Maybe they look like the 21" wheels from the GT?

Could you post a link to that store? Does anyone know what are the wheel specs, like offset,bolt pattern etc.?

This video has set of (factory?) wheels I haven't seen in any other EV6 yet.

The black parts are clip-on plastic pieces.

Wow, they look nice. Wonder what the effect on the range will be...??

Again KIA...Learn from others like BMW and inform your costumers of the range effects!

Wheels or rim covers? I'm a bit suspicious For example, look at this Hyundai rim cover:

Nice to see they offer other wheel/tire options in different market. With the Stinger, they had an option for another style of wheel/tire package in the US, in the catalogue. It was a first as far as I know but I don’t know if they sold any, as that wasn’t a common thing here and I don’t think any dealer ordered and equipped a car with a set for purchasers to see the optional wheel and know it exists. Most people here don’t care for the manufacturer option, they will go aftermarket as they tend to cost a lot less.
