As I have an EX with the 16" tyres and because I'd rather have had 15"s would a good option be to change the complete set-up to 15" all seasons and, on selling, change everything back to the 16" set-up with the standard tyres, which would be almost new...?? Wonder how much cost might be.
It depends. I only researched for the mk4 EX and wanted to keep to 185/60/R15 as used on Mk 4's with 15" wheels, as a replacement for the original 185/55/R16 . There is a big price difference. IIRC Michelin Cross climates are about £120 each in 16" (Goodyear Vectors not made in that size) , but only about £80 for the same tyre or a Goodyear in 15" , plus a big choice of even cheaper but still well regarded brands.
But this is a Mk3 thread. MK3 sizes and prices may be completely different with less of a price hike.
With wheels I wanted to keep to 15" ,6J rim width, and an offset ET of about 45. Plus the correct bolt pattern of 100x4 and centre bore hole of 56.1 mm. Again Mk 3 Jazz may have a bigger choice and availablity of new and used rims . I wasnt sure if Mk3 wheels will fit a mk4
I considered alternatives of used rims from a 4 stud civic from the early 2000's,about £30 each , new after market steel rims for about £48 inch and after market alloys from about £ 80 -£90 each. New or nearly new original Mk4 Honda 15" wheels would probably be outside my budget.(I cant guarantee any particular wheel is going to fit. I havnt researched it fully yet. )
I will probably go for the after market alloys. I can wait till next winter. There is a 6J et 45 version with oversize universal bore, which is adjusted to 56.1 size with removable spigots. This means with different sized spigots the wheels will fit a larger range of cars, (including my Yaris).. This increases the chances they will also fit my next car, or if I need to sell them there will be more potential buyers. Some on line tyre retailers do wheel/tyre packages with the tyres ready fitted and balanced. Thats where I saw these wheels. They have a TUV certificate for fitment to the Jazz.
One advantage of the Jazz is it uses standard, cheap, tyre valves , not expensive tyre pressure monitor sensors.
So with old rims and a slightly budget option on tyres it could be under £400, but decent tyres and attractive after market alloys maybe £640, or less if you shop around. But you could probably get the difference in price back if you sell them later.
Although All seasons are great all year round, if I had two sets of wheels I would probably put the summer ones on in summer anyway. I doubt you would get much more for the car selling it with Brand new tyres.You might as well get some wear out of them. On the other hand keeping the original wheels pristine and undamaged might add to value.
