I'd like to recommend Wolfrace for supplying 16-inch wheels for my Chevrolet Orlando.

I needed a new set of tyres for my Chevrolet Orlando with 18-inch rims. They would cost me between £550-£600. Wolfrace did me a set of 16-inch alloys with decent quality tyres, balanced and fitted for £648 and I have still got my 18-inch wheels to sell. I now have a much more comfortable and I hope more economical ride. A no brainer really!

That's a decent deal. www.tyremen.co.uk does a set of 16-inch Alutec alloys for £335 inc, plus the tyres. But, of course, the total cost depends on which tyres you go for. You could fit excellent Goodyear Vector 4 Season tyres and leave them on all year round. You need to disclose the ‘modification’ to your insurer but there should be no penalty.
