Hey guys,
I am after a set of 16" Borbet alloy wheels in black for my 2016 Black edition J11a.
I've seen several packages on eBay and local to me but the stumbling block has been the tyre options along with ensuring I get the TPMS with the wheels and tyres.
So far I've narrowed down the possible tyres to the following options alloys included in price:
Sourced locally in U.K.
215/65 R16 98H Tristar SnowPower HP £511.00
215/65 R16 98H Avon WV7 £611.20
21565 R16 98H Goodyear Ultragrip Performance Gen 1 £697.00
215/65 R16 98H Continental TS850P £711.00
None of these options from UK have the TPMS that would be an additional £108 to each price above as I only recently found out.
Or via eBay from Germany with TPMS included
Winter tires by Goodride in 215/65R16 98 H profile: SW608 £559.31 + £13.30
Winter tires Hankook in 215/65R16 98 H profile: W320 £653.33 + £13.44 postage
So my question is have any of you used any of these tyres can you advise on quality of them and has anyone had issues buying from sellers from Germany, will tyres meet U.K. Requirements without any issues and obviously the alloy fit the car as can get the locally sourced ones to fit them before I buy not so easy with the ones from Germany.

Hi Mad Maru,
Unfortunately, we don't have the alloy wheels you're after in stock, however, we do have some very good alternatives available. We can also help you with choosing the right winter tyres for your vehicle. For example, we highly recommend the BFG all terrain tyres for your requirements.
For more information, please email andrew@milneroffroad.com or call us on 01629 734 411 and we'll be happy to help.
Kind regards,

Shop around for better TPMS prices too.
Many UK tyre fitters can now offer these.

Mad Mura, it looks like you are set on the Borbet Wheels (no cost stated), but these are most probably one of the most expensive Alloys around, then the Tyres (cost as stated) + the TPMS Valves which looks like a hefty sum of money at the end, but that is your decision and they are nice - Dave
Just as a suggestion have you thought of purchasing a complete set of other Alloy Wheels and Tyres as you could possibly save some money. For instance and this is just an example, this is a German Co. Giacuzzo that supplies Nissan Accessories and there are a lot of suppliers around :
As an example for 16“ Wheels Complete :
https://www.giacuzzo.com/shop/index.php ... _1884_1564
As the facts are in German just hit to view what is available :
Nissan @ Top / Nissan Qashqai @ Left / Nissan Qashqai J11 / Winterkompletträder J11 / Winterkompletträder Qashqai J11
The maximiun cost looks like for Nokian Complete €1055 (£930) + Shipping ! I hope this works !

Hi All,
The alloy wheel price is £319 and the prices above include the price for the Borbet alloy wheels. I really wanted to confirm if the wheel options were good as the tyre site reviews all say good things but I wanted some real world feedback.
Dave, it's Mad Maru and I know of giacuzzo as had wanted one of their body kits for my N16 but they were very rare and I missed out on a couple sets over the years. The Borbets suit the black edition nicely and I want to preserve the 19" ones that came with the car for warmer weather etc.

It's actually a 'Black Edition' with the kick plates, pano roof, leather, 19" alloys. Hence wanting to keep black alloys for the winter even though a smaller diameter.gvmdaddy wrote:Mad Maru, is it actually a 'Black Edition' or is it just that you call it that because of the way you've pimped it up!

Well from the lack of responses I'm assuming no one has gone the route of getting winter/wet tyres for their QQ, so I opted for the deal from Germany as was all included claimed to be the exact TPMS units used from the factory and will hopefully be here in a few days so will let you guys know how I get on?

Mad Maru, I believe I did answer your request and actually from Germany ! But we do not have Alloy Winter Wheels on our QQ so I could not answer correctly, we actually have Nissan 16" Steel with Goodyear 215/65 R16 Tyres with Plastic Trim, not pretty but they function - Dave
If as you have mentioned the Wheels etc are ordered from Germany, can I ask out of interest what Supplier you ordered them from ?
