I found a a great deal on a set of 16in sonata wheels, All 4 with tires for $150.
My question is mainly for Bob since I've only ever seen his car with them on here. But everyone is more than welcome to chime in. What would be a good size tire to put on these things. How much do they weigh in comparison to stock steelies? I am worried about rotating mass and losing stopping distance, should I upgrade to the Sonata bbk? I wonder what they would look like in gunmetal or a dark bronze.

They are heavy. But because of that,they are solid and less likley to bend. Mine have seen some nasty potholes inthe last 45k miles and held up well.

If you want to keep close to stock rolling diameter, go with 205/50/16. I am running 205/55/16 for the taller gearing as I spend 90% of my time on the interstate.

I'd go with 205/55 because you have a better tire selection and they are cheaper.
