Hyundai Elantra Forum The Hyundai Elantra Forum. Later models (96-up) of this 4-door share their Beta engines and chassis with the Hyundai Tiburon. Earlier Mistubishi-based Hyundai Elantras (92-95) are perfect candidates for the popular 4g63t motor swap, which turns the Hyundai Elantra into a real sleeper. These characteristics make the Hyundai Elantra a great car for those who want sports car performance with family car flexibility.

^Be careful with running testing with one HID. I recall reading something about if you run one HID with one regular bulb it will damage one side and cause it to be permanently dim from the uneven wattage. Does anyone recall this?



I don't favor white rims. There is only one car in my book that can pull it off, and it's not some crummy Honda Fit.

I turned it on just long enough to make sure I plugged it in right, The H11b have two yellow wires running to the bulb itself and I was to lazy to get the multi out, also wasn't sure if the direction it was plugged in mattered.

ok, went cheap. No car note this month + selling some old parts = paid for them. I will probably get them painted white the next time I get a decent amount of time off work. However, better than the steel/hubcaps IMO. Also, once i lower it a bit I wont feel weird about lowering on stock steel.

I think that was a good choice of wheel,not to BIG, not to small.. Plus they look right on point, sporty, but not super low pro and all blades!!!



GOOD BUY!!!



Also I am totally feeling those wheels with a black lip, and the rest painted white!

I do, but do not want to slam it. I was going to start looking for springs vs. drop soon. Not sure on the year but the short throw was part of the trim name it seems, lol
