    You don’t do anything halfway. Looks good and congrats. That young man will never forget any of this. Btw, believe your “before” picture is wrong in first post unless I am missing something.

    well,
    as i searched and searched....
    discovered most all direct fit manuf. swap rims would/wouldnt:
    1)center caps wouldnt clear front 5 lug axle grease caps
    2)you would need new lugs

    Surprisingly, these Sonata rims did both!

    THatt, tht B4 pix has the original taco lug nuts(for steel rims)
    couldnt even see them bc so shallow and ratty......they worked fine for short while
    (i know, i know.....steel lugs not the best for alum rims)

    interesting.....
    currently, i like my wrenching friends freakin out when they say "Hyundai rims on a Toyota???? WTF????"
    see if the kid mentions

    in the past, we used to sand the back side of grille emblems and paint the inside to gain the most HP.....lol
    (match the emblem to car color kinda thing)

    see if those CC's bothers the kid once he starts driving......might just change Time623
