looks good man! Headlights KDM style (black housing + Chrome shroud) would definitely complement the black/polish wheel color..... plus it is cheap

I like them, but there's three things that I'm not fond of. The first is the curved out spokes. They should be either straight or concave. Second, the screws holding the spokes to the rim. It should be one piece. Third, I liked silver or gunmetal.
In other words, it looks very nice when adapting to the race drift-look. It's a small compromise for the classy look.

lol... so you basically don't like the rims at all.
the black wheels will compliment the things to come. The curve of the spokes is subtle, and on the car hard to tell, really. The purpose is to make the lip as deep as possible. I like lip. Concavity would reduce the lip significantly.

I'll tell you what, it's borderline for me. I'm mixed on these. I think Hyundais deserve something more classy like something supercars might have, or BMW-looking rims with big thick wide sticky tires that flex some muscle. It's just me though.
(maybe a bit too wide there, but you get the point)
I like the deep lips too, but those screws spoil it big time. If you spray them black, they'll probably look better.

btw, I actually looked at those Vossen wheels (Vossen CV2 - the white Gen HKC posted). I was going to get them in Machined Black (in a higher offset) but you can't find them under $2,000. I got mine, AFTER tires for less than that.
hm... I also think I'm running wider tires than him, too. He has more stretch than I do, mine is VERY mild. My pics don't do it justice, I really need a good pic from the rear showing the amount of surface my tires are in contact with. Maybe this will help
