I think what he is saying that you probably want a more powerful vehicle if you are going to add a bunch of weight.
Anyhow, I don't know. Tricked, have you been to the Tucson forums? There are some nice ones out there.
Personally, I don't like aftermarket wheels much on small SUV/crossovers. If you could get some OEM Santa Fe 18's that would be nice, but we both know you won't find any for that cheap.

I agree 100%. I've always liked using factory whees from other cars for my cars. For example, I have 17" Chrysler 300M wheels on my wifes Chrysler Voyager minivan:
I also agree that 18" Santa Fe wheels would look great on the Tucson. I recently purchased a Tucson and those are the exact wheels I'm looking to buy. Here's a photochop of what they (and 17" Tiburon wheels) should look like on my Tucson:
It an SE with the V6. It's my wife's, too. If I put 20's on it, that just means it will cost that much more to replace wheels. I want a little sidewall to the tires to and also maintain the proper circumference. Not to mention 20's cost like 4 times as much and the tire are hella expensive.
The 08 Sante Fe 18's are nice. If I could find some for less than $350, all would be good. I'm still searching for the Tucson forums.
I agree. Both wheels are a little hard to find. The Santa Fe wheels are a little easier. I've seen a few on eBay but I haven't seen a single Veracruz 18" wheel on eBay yet. I personally like 5-spoke wheels better than 6-spoke but the Santa Fe wheels still look good.
Yeah, I've seen dozens of 16" and 17" wheels on eBay. I don't want the 16's because that's the size that comes on the Tucson and I haven't found a set of 17's wheels that I like (other than the Tiburon 17' wheels).
Maybe I'll wait for a good deal on some Sante Fe 18's. I like the simplicity of them....easier to keep clean. Also, I know the sensors will fit.
