Rims, & fitment - Hyundai Performance Forums

Yeah, so I might just get moved to the newbie forum again for this one, but I'm taking the chance. :ermm: here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38662&item=2421138 514
I got some umm......"constructive" criticism on my website when I posted last time about rims, wanted to not only get an opinion on these but also to know if they're going to fit or not. I'm thinking they're fine, but wanting to get some feedback from people with 17's on their cars and how well they work and if I would need a roll of the fenders or whatever to make em fit with these tires. Thanks.

Had to edit the post sorry the link wasn't workin'

There is nothing listed about a wheel offset so you don't know if they will fit.

They should fit nicely... your car has a 4x100 bolt pattern, and those wheels are drilled for both 4x100 and 4x114.3. All you'll have to do is take out the screws on the hubs (they're put there to keep the rotors and drums on during assembly) so the wheels fit flush. Also, you may need hubcentric rings. I'd call Whalen tire and ask about those, and if the ones for your car will come with the wheels, or if you'll have to pay extra for them... they are important. I believe Whalen Tire has a good rep.

Edited to add... MrKevin007's right... I forgot about offset... contact them to find out about that stuff.

I'd be asking questions about this as well. I checked the application fitment guide and the Accent is not listed, so we don't know the offset.

::in my best Mr. Burns voice::

Bah! Damn Hyundai and their captive rotors!

The woman I talked to said these would fit if they were double drilled, and that if they were single drilled they would fit. She actually owns a 1999 Accent, and really knew her stuff. I was like sweet! :lol:

Yeah those are decent looking rims. Though i'm very partial to white rims. Not everyone has them and that's part of the appeal. Tho on a black car i think the best looking rims are gunmetal with chrome outer ring. like th RO-JA formula 5's.
