For everyone curious about wheel options on the Seltos, it will be 3 wheels ranging in size from 16-18 according to Kia "The Kia Seltos sits on a choice of 16-, 17- or 18-inch premium crystal cut alloy wheels, which complement the dimensions of the car, lending it a powerful stance. The wheels are shod with high-grip 205/60 R16, 215/55 R17 or 235/45 R18 tyres."

Two them can be seen during the world premiere in India and pictured below as I would like to discuss availability outside of India. What are the chances we'll at least see those fancy 18-inch crystal cut alloys in other markets like the USA, UK, Australia and the rest of Europe? Let me know what you guys think.

In India, we are getting the crystal cut alloys only on the GT line and 17” is max. No 18 inches for us! The mid variants have 16”/17” hyper metallic alloys and the base variants, 16” steel wheels.

IMO, Kia should launch some special trims for India.
Its either they do it or soon enough a rival will, which with the growing Indian economy, is bound to happen.

Yes, we can. Many have done so, already. Crystal cut alloys are Rs.45k per set and tyres (Michelin Primacy) about Rs.40k

No problem at all. Only downside, albeit minor, since you'll have lower profile rubber, sharp bumps will be felt hard.

Kia dealers are not ready to exchange. Just new alloys can be bought. Old Wheels can be sold aftermarket.
