Great pic! Looks like a beautiful example.
I don't know that I'd rush to replacce those wheels, either. I think they suit the car pretty well. |
Your car looks great! I love that posh quiet ride. Did the 2015 VIP have the quilted Nappa Leather? My 2016 did, and the interior was really my favorite aspect of the car. I wish I had been a little more careful selecting mine when I bought it - you did the right thing by passing on the previous cars. I'm unaware of any negative feedback on the quality of the OEM Hyundai Equus chrome wheels. I'm not sure of the wheel sizes on the 2015 K900 vs the Equus, but the 2016 K900 VIP had different wheel widths on the front and rear (wider). Perhaps the Equus does as well, as the two cars are somewhat related. The likely reason those wheels are replaced is that the K900 chrome wheels were extremely prone to chipping - literally chunks coming out for no reason. It was also very obvious when it happens because the metal appears black in the chipped area and it stands out. The wheels that came with your new car are visually interesting and suit it very well. Was your insurance high on this car? I drove my car around 2200 miles a year and I'm a very safe driver with no accidents for decades, yet my insurance kept going up at every renewal time. I hope your car gives you many years of happiness.

Thanks everyone, I'll answer a few things:
I agree they look pretty good, but there is a slight shimmy around 60-65 mph that I would like to eliminate. The tires are also pretty cheap, and probably the culprit, but I also want to get back to stock form since they are not staggered or correct offset. I don't have the quilted leather, although I really wish I did! The quilted brown interior would be my choice, it looks so good! The OEM wheels chipping is exactly what I thought may have happened, and another reason I've opted for the Equus wheels that aren't chrome as seen here https://s.aolcdn.com/dimsglobal/dims...141A021001.jpg. They're the same staggered 19x8 in front and 19x9 in rear with the same offsets as K900 OEM. I still need to get some tires mounted but I'll probably wait until the pandemic has cooled off. Insurance is about $30/month more than a 2010 Prius driven the same miles. |
