Wheel/rim adapters - Hyundai Performance Forums

Just got my elantra and was wondering if anyone makes an adaptor to retrofit other types of rims to this car. I have a set of 16" aluminum rims from my eagle talon and was wondering if there is something made to fit other sizes.

they are very dangerous and will make your tires rub on the fenders. Just sell your rims on eBay(it's ridiculous what some people will pay for stuff like that) and go to www.tirerack.com and they will show you all the rims they have that will fit your car and even what they would look like on the car.

you can contact www.tires.com. get their phone number from the website. They sell hubcentric adapters that will allow the wheels to sit properly.

This is of course assuming the lug/bolt pattern is the same. If I'm not mistaken, the Talon uses 5 lug wheels, and your new elantra uses 4 lugs wheels. Yes, they do make adapters that will allow you to convert them, but as bigZach stated, they are not safe.

Duuuuuuuuude cut your arches and slam 19's on and it'll look like an Elantra that was made for the track and somehow found its way onto the streets...
