The Ibiza is a subcompact hatccar from automobile manufacturers Seat. The model has been offered as a hatchback throughout its entire thirty-year history - time will tell whether this formula will continue to yield success. The first Seat Ibiza arrived on the market in 1984. Its minimum 1.2-litre capacity petrol engine came out of a design for Porsche by Giorgetto Giugiaro, to whom the VW Group also owe huge credit for their ubiquitous Golf. There were numerous equipment lines and a 1991 facelift, during which the Seat Ibiza rims were updated along with the rest of the car. The technology of the second Ibiza series came entirely from Volkswagen, although the Spanish brand continued to promote a budget image for some time afterwards; this only changed when the 156 HP 1.8 T 20V Cupra was introduced in 1999, followed by the 180 HP 1.8 T Cupra R a year later (Cupra, an abbreviation for "cup racing", denoted the new, sportier orientation of the brand it still adheres to today). mytyres.co.uk stocks 15- and 18-inch rims for these variants in the current series, including the distinctive AEZ Genua black and the statement DOTZ Tupac alongside a range of subtler designs.
