i like the last 2 the best, but the second one would look best on a santa fe.

[hyunelan2]

The last one. The first two look like they're trying to be ghetto-pimp-look-alike-22s. The last one has a nice look to it, that won't make it look like you're trying to hooptie-out the SF.

...I also have a SF, and would like to put rims on it... but not with the way my wife is attracted to curbs.

[Xtreme1185]

chrome rims are generally very flashy and as a result, really ****in ugly in my opinion, but that 3rd one is nice and clean.

[HatchetMan]

I've been leaning towards the 3rd from the start, just thought I get some other opinions. Will probably be another month or 2 so keep voting :)

[paki]

your wife is going to be a playette!!! digging #2.. and who says chrome is ugly? chrome rocks, but only on certain cars/colors

[HatchetMan]

Well damn! The set that won the poll and that I liked best, the FORTE F52, is incorrectly listed on the site as fitting the SF. They just called me up and said to pick out 3 others I liked best and he would give me the wholsale price on them - for me to then choose from, I suppose. Help!!! Since those other 2 up there are are tacky and I can now get a slightly better wheel for a good deal, feel free to help me pick out a set. 18" still, does not necessarily have to be shiny chrome, just like them. Here you go - post back quick (oh and keep in mind Pine Green '02 Santa Fe w/ that grey body cladding. It's also a GLS w/ chrome oem trim pieces. Only other non-stock/non-oem part is a brushed aluminum billet grill):

not really feeling the first 2, the third is clean and would look pretty good. have you thought about black? black typically looks pretty good with pine green.

black with chrome trim, whatever you do. I can't stand the fake-me-out rivets, they look ricey to me (like you're trying to make everyone think you're running a 3-piece rim), but maybe the black mesh with chrome lip - that'd look awesome.

then again, it is your car, so you're the only one qualified to make that sort of call. :D

Mesh Rules Just not on an SUV :D

[Phiber]

Don't you think you should go bigger on a Santa Fe? Especially since you're going for the bling-bling look? Go 20's; otherwise it's going to look real dumb.

[CornbreadXD]

on second thought, I would go with 20" cuz its an suv, only if you can fit it in the budget, if not 18" is fine
