I just bought a set for my truck wheels and tires (1K miles) for $350. Sold the old steel wheels and tires ones for $150.

Don't forget the sensors for the wheels! ~$50 a wheel......

Model is too new and besides these are the upgraded version with larger alloy wheels. Now I cannot even get the OEM wheels, the online store is out of stock. Need to find & get aftermarket ones.

Make sure they fit the space provided. Junkyard?

Also the sensor on the value stem.

Thanks Barney, checked just now and the car does have TPMS.
I will just order a pair of aftermarket rims, the 16 X 6" rims are not readily available. A reconditioned one if $350.00!!!!!!!!!! Yikes.

Call the parts guy at the dealership and ask them about the style. You might get lucky and have a cheap style. Rubber value stem and a plastic sensor attached inside the wheel on the other side. Like my Ram the ford IIRC has a band going around the wheel on the inside.

If they are just going to be for a spare, try calling a yard and ask them. You may get lucky and get tires also.

Just found an original on eBay for $125 + $30 shipping from a recycling shop in LA. This has the sensor. May get lucky and find another one.

I am having an email exchange with the dealership, not going to ask them for anything if I can help it. Do not want to be obligated and we can afford the additional cost.

The manager has claimed that they will change their sales policy and also notify Hyundai America. My intent here is to ensure that their customers are informed.
