I need to get 17 inch winter rims for this bad boy.

I was thinking of getting these, hoping for a yellow Lancer Ralliart look.

The bolt pattern, size, and offset is perfect for the K4.

Is white + yellow a dumb idea? Should I go with matte silver instead like the trim pieces? I'm really struggling to picture it for some reason, but I feel like satin white wheels on a popping colour would work.

EDIT: I've received a lot of excellent suggestions, but I do have some criterion:

  • Must be winter approved (salt / brine resistant coating)
  • Must be 17x7.5 or 17x8
  • Must have an offset of roughly +42mm (7.5 inch width)
  • Must have a lug pattern of 5x114.3 with a centre bore of at least 67.1
  • Must be available for sale in Quebec
  • Must be under $250 CAD per wheel before taxes

For reference, my stock rims are 18x8 with a +56 offset.

EDIT 2: I think I've decided on getting the 720 Form FF6 after comments mentioning similar looking wheels, a lower spoke count and thicker spokes. I'm willing to stretch my budget for them, especially since they are flow formed and higher quality than the Dai I was originally looking at. I'm still sold on the white since I couldn't find a matte silver rim that fit my taste and budget.

I will pull the trigger tomorrow morning. Let me know if you have more comments. Thanks all!

EDIT 3: Can't make up my mind lmao. I inquired with a local shop about getting some light gray Sparco rims. See comments.

I recommend a lighter grey white will turn grey in the winter slush anyways. Grey also still shows the detail in the wheel without going “HEY LOOK AT MY WHEELS!!” (Black usually crushes detail and makes wheels look like forgotten holes imo)

    Personally I don't think it's worth for winters. Summers tho... I think it'd be better. Less salt, slush, and shit for sure.

    Yeah but I have to pick something, and my steelies just instantly rusted to shit on my previous car.

    The stock rims are 18 inches, and they are expensive enough that I want them nowhere near our winter roads. 17 inch gives me more tire meat.

    My first thought is that depending where you live, they will dirty constantly in winter weather.

    Good point, I'm from Montreal and we have a lot of brine and slush.

    Though I had a lava orange Elantra before this, and it, along with its black steel winter rims, were constantly gray from the salt brine so I think it's whatever.

    Sparco Terras I think would look good. They are available in white. I have a set on a project car, and look awesome. They a durable without being too heavy and decent price. Kind of gives that rally look to the car. Maybe some rally style mud flaps. I'm a fan of RallyArmor. I think they have a kit for your car.

    TireRack has a preview feature that shows different wheels on your car.

    Cool car, nice to see a new wagon!

    Thanks! It's actually a hatchback though, sorry! There's a wagon version of the Kia K4 in Europe if you're curious (K4 Sportswagon).

    Though I will say, the trunk area is quite deep for a hatchback, and that shooting brake look with the hidden rear handles is chef's kiss. They definitely made it look sportswagon-y.
