Hello

My sommer tyres were a bit damaged and I am thinking about getting new tyres, and while doing that I am also thinking about buying new rims. Cupra's original rims cost an arm and leg, plus a kidney, so I wonder if it would be a good idea to buy rims from 3rd party. I checked reifen.com and RC Design RC32 and RC34 looked nice to me. Do you know if it is a good idea to buy them? This will be my first time buying a complete wheel set, so I am pretty much inexperienced here.

More questions :)
Will there be a performance difference between these ones and Cupra's original rims?
What is the difference between RC32 and RC34? Just color or durability and performance are different?
Which tyres should I get? I am driving mostly on Autobahn, and I wasn't happy with my Bridgestone Turanza 5 (original tyres from Cupra). and these Pirelli Zero PZ4 Sport, Bridgestone Turanza 6 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport looks ok, but I am not sure they will be good for the rims and car.

Any other recommendations are also welcome.

I have 2021 Formentor VZ 1.4 e-Hybrid
