Those ARE very nice... and you say they're OEM? What market(s) do they use them in?

Wil - that's the ugliest avatar I've ever seen. Just my $0.02, no offense.

Personally, I don't like those rims at all, but that's just me.

Where did you find the picture of the rim?

For OEM rims, I think they look pretty cool. For the amount that you'd spend on them, you could probably find a better looking rim in the same style that would cost you less and would probably weigh less. I'm assuming these were never introduced to the U.S., so the junkyard would be out the question, right?

Let the reeming commence:) The thing I don't like about them is that little teardrop like thing on each spoke.

Bronze powdercoating and wham, a beautiful wheel. What are these OEM on? I've never seen them before.

They are OEM on some of the Australian Elantras. In Korea you can get Elantras with 3 or more different types of wheels. Importing them over here would hurt the wallet, especially when you could get some aftermarket, better looking wheels for less.

The company he is taking about is Astrel (or distributed from PSC). The Elantra is no longer up on the main site, but with some Colombo/Matlock like investigating, here is the old page, still up:

You might ask some of the Ausie's in here if they have swapped a set out. They might want to get rid of them cheap.

Those are cool rims! :) Why don't they ever have options like that here in the US?
