Agreed, way to big for the Veloster.



Also, its got to ride like crap, that sidewall is nonexistent.



I went to 18" and I think its the best compromise between ride and looks.

I think 19s would look great with the proper fitment - no poke, and lowered so just barely tucking the tires.

But... if I owned a veloster it would be slammed on 18s.

Surprising how if its one or two inches too big it looks like it's from the hood.

This guy has busted his ass on modding and achieved what I think is an awesome V! 19" wheels with the turbo bumper upgrade.

Needs more low before judgement can be made. Also do something with the ridiculous polished lips on the wheels.

Dat ground clearance on the first veloster









I think that it's kinda ricey to put a turbo bodykit on an NA car.

To each their own.....It's only the front bumper, but hell, so many NAVs have dipped the front to look like this too. At least he went all out and replaced it. He'll be the first to tell you it's not a turbo. Either way, it was a pic for good looking rims on the V, regardless of trim

That looks good. to him! And I like the Turbo front bumper versus the N/A. Much better than a horrendous body kit that may not fit right or throw off the lines of the car.
