How do you guys think staggered wheels would look on an Elantra? Dumb or hot?

If you want the staggered lip look you can get wheels that are the same size with different lip protrusion. That way you can keep the same width front and rear, but have the slightly dished look in the rear.

Axis Widetracks make it pretty simple to do. You could do the same thing with some other types of wheels by getting the same width in two different offsets.
