    This all started when may nakita akong black Sonata with aftermarket rims cruising by Banawe. I was like.. "shet, ang pangit..."

    Anyway, looking for rims with: 18-20"x8.5, 5x114, +45 to +48 offset is ideal. As for the wheels, got no idea but I'm looking for a mid-tier tire primary for city and highway driving. If possible, post the rough price of the rim set and suggestions on where to buy them. I'm not on a budget really but being affordable is a plus... para more trips papuntang Pegasus.. I mean more funds para sa home audio :naughty2:

    Initially, I want to get the GC's 19-inch OEM wheels. But it's proving annoying to get 2 sets of its front tires (18x8.5 versus the rear's 18x9.5?).

    Aim is to:
    1. Lessen the front fender gap. It's a bit large for my taste.. so I'm generally looking for 19-20 inchers.
    2. Increase the ground clearance. Every cm counts since kahit magisa ako, sumasayad ako sa sidewalk ng Banawe unless I turn it sideways. Why so heavy? Sound setup + sound deadening = few hundred lbs additional weight.

    I won't be dropping.

    For ideas, check the images below:

    Sabi sa inyo pogi yun 19" OEM GC wheels!


    This is actually my favorite rims (I like matte black on white) aside from the SEMA-modded Sonata rims


    This is what I want my Sonata to be in 2014... pero dream on nalang muna dyan.. rims is BBS I think.

    Chrome multi-spokes actually look nice..


    I think these are 20s.. no worries, wala ako plano kumuha ng fake Brembo calipers..


    Volks TE37.. I'd rate it 8/10


    Bagay actually AMG rims..


    Hmmm..

    I'm looking for looks.. not performance so I'm pretty okay with Thailand-copies. Lightweight is a plus since each wheel of the Sonata (18"+Kumho Solus KH16) weighs around 52lbs.

    For those asking for my OEM mags *cough* Ken *cough*, I'll be using them every PMS

    For me since hindi ka naman racing parang ako. hehe.. Go for mesh rims. Hindi ko kasi trip yung racing look pero di naman racing. Pero kanya-kanyang taste yan.

    Pag may budget eto mga bibilhin ko.

    Hahaha Okay lang, may nahanap na ako. Tsaka nag-dadalawang isip ako ngayon sa mags. Sayang pera, pang date nalang sana

    Ito talaga bagay sa Sonata mo. May 19" at 20"

    Pwede rin 'to.

    Actually, BBS rims are on my top list now. Trying to get the LM or the LM-R. Pero wala tayo authorized distributor of authentic BBS rims sa Philippines right?

    Sadly wala.. May pinuntahan pa akong seller dati na authentic daw pag dating ko doon replica pala.

    Naghahanap din kasi ako kaso 17's lang. Kung may 19's kang mahanap I think estimate ko nasa 150k na yan. Pero sulit naman if ever. Yung sa friend ko kasi na 18's na vsxx inabot siya ng mga 95k e.. Gulong pa so mga 130k lahat.

    That's the problem. Everytime I see a seller selling BBS rims less than 40k, I automatically presume it's a copy.

    If I'm going to buy a copy at those prices, might as well buy and patronize our very own ROTA wheels \
