Hi all,

I am the owner of a J11A (16 plate) tekna with 19" rims installed. It is time to replace the worn out tyres and after having a look at asdatyres I was shocked by the prices :o .
I was thinking of "downgrading" to 17"/18" rims to get better prices and a smoother ride. It will be an extra initial cost, but I will have ROI by the next time I need to replace them.
Is there anyone who know the rim specifications that I need to be looking for or/and an online shop that i could have a look at?

Sticking with Qashqai or at least Nissan wheels will help with the insurance - you might otherwise be paying extra for aftermarket alloys.

At times the Tekna was optionally available with downgraded 17" or 18" alloys as a no cost extra.
