I'll admit, the stock wheels look good but not good enough for me. Somewhere down the line they'll either be sold or demoted to beater status. So now the hunt is on for a set of aftermarket wheels that look good, don't cost a fortune and are of good build quality.
Yeaa that does look really good. It looks like an oem option. If you were to put the white on the blue elantra sport, it would look like a performance variant of it ! Just lower it a little, and put an N badge somewhere lol.
OEM wheels from other Hyundai models should work well too. Just have to make sure they match up in terms of center bore, bolt pattern, width, diameter and offset. If it will work, these wheels off an older Genesis sedan might look good:
I won't mind that, or whatever group I do/don't fit in, that to me doesn't matter. What does matter is how good it will look on the Elantra Sport and so far I think it will flow with the overall design. Not exactly easy to tell, wish we had a photoshop guru here.
I'm really not too sure what I'll be looking towards just yet.. I have many ideas that keep conflicting with each other lol so I'm just gonna keep my eyes out until something really strikes me. I'm not a huge "stance" kind of guy but I do like a clean look. Nothing over-sized and cambered or slammed or whatever, but something clean, attractive, but not generic like the forever being used BBS LM style wheels or RPF1 or TEs
2nd one down is just about the best look for a Hyundai like this since it suits the design language, everything else looks like it belongs on an Audi or BMW, but that's just my strong opinion, open to hearing what everyone else has to say.

I'm leaning toward the middle design aswell. I was throwing around the idea of dipping the stock wheels black, but leaving the machined bits stock. They grey is cool, but black is cooler.
I don't know much about proper wheel sizing, but if I wanted to run a 17x7.5 +48 offset wheel with 235/40R17 tires, am I nuts? I don't mind if I have to roll the fenders. Looking for a setup I can use for canyon fun and possible track days. I like the beefy tire look, hence the smaller wheel/larger tire choice.

Your speedometer will be off by approx 13.7%. So when you're speedo says you're doing 30 you'll actually be going 34.11mph. I know this didn't really relate to your question but just food for thought.
Hmm, they don't make a 235/45 in the tire I want (Falken RT615K) which according to a calculator I just used is the closest to stock. Hankook does make the RS-3 in that size though, so guess I will have to go with those.
Since Tire Rack doesn't show wheels available for our car yet, are we to assume that anything that fits a regular Elantra will work just fine here too?

I'm thinking about 17x8.5 +35 offset with 225/45/17 tires. ESR SR08 is the work emotion cai replica and that's what I'm leaning towards for now. I just wish Ark or Megan would come out with springs.. lol

Anyone have locking lugnuts? Gorilla is a common brand. I know theres aluminum ones also. Or do you just have the factory ones. Want to get a set and looking for feedback
Hello everyone I just noticed the other day that my 2 front tires are beginning to split/crack down the sidewalls around the Ventus logo. ( hankook ventus s1 ) and these are the factory tires that came on car new.
I called my dealer and they said I needed to contact Hankook about it and hankook...
I am shopping for a new set of winter rims. After much search I am now torn between two finalists: Fast Wheels FC04 in satin titanium finish 17x8 ET45 vs TSW Chicane matte gunmetal 17x8 ET40. Opinions? TSWs are little more expensive.
Just put these on. Completely changed the character of the car. Do not recommend these tires for a daily driver, they are super noisy. I have another car that I drive M-F and this is basically my toy now so as annoying as it is, I can live with it for the grip. :p
Would one of you more knowledgable folks help me out with some home work?
Looking at these for my White 18 ES. I'd like to make sure they will fit both the ES, and the stock tires.
