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.

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.
