Factory 19's on the cheap.

[MathWiz]

I purchased a 2011 4.6 Sedan last week with only 31850 miles.
Got a great price of only 20K

Already had tinted windows and no front plate (yes!), I knew that I wanted to upgrade to at least 19s. I went to work finding great deals (kind of what I am known for). I came across these Kia Cadenza Wheels on eBay. They were only $600, he has since bumped them to $700. I then found these Hyundai Center Caps from a Korean Hyundai dealer. Wheels for under $685, got 255/40/19 tires from Discount Direct for $715, and already have the original wheels and tires sold for $400. Grand total of under $1000 for new Factory 19s and new tires

I taught Photoshop for 10 years at San Diego State University, I never spend money on car mods without trying it in Photoshop first.
Here is my rendering of what the wheels and car should look like.

I have several more mods planned for the new few weeks, I will post pics of everything after the car is done.

The experiment killed the Test monkey.

The wheels hit the brake caliper on the front, I don't want to use spacers, so I am out the money to ship them back.

Oh well, what to try next?

Out of curiosity what was the offset of the KIA 19's that you tried to put on?

The new 19" Equus wheels look good on the sedan. Saw a photoshopped image on the forum a while back. Could give that a shot.

The Kia wheels are 41 Offset.

I went with four Coupe Rear wheels

$219 per wheel and $60 back for the Original 18s, $159 per wheel for OEM 19s is pretty good.

Here is another PhotoShop preview. Wheels will be in next Monday and I will post pics with all the mods that are happening this week.
