Aftermarket Aluminum wheels are basically 100$ apiece. although they look nice, in fact they weigh just the same or even more than steel wheels in the
13" size. the selection of aluminum wheels in the 13" size is very little - there is only actually just TWO aluminum 13" wheels readily available. remember, although i paid 68$ apiece for steelies, and this seems like a lot, these are HYUNDAI ORIGINAL, with Hyundai stamped on them, they are NOT aftermarket.
I did also find a set of USED Colt wheels, and they were 40$ apiece, so 68$ for brand new is actually a fair price.
I just happen to be kind of a traditionalist person, and steel wheels are appealing to me, because I live in the salted road region, and steel is very durable here. Also, since I live in Canada, and buy my stuff from USA, black steelies are much easier to smuggle across the border than alloy wheels, the customs guy asks me about the steelies, and I just claim that I always have them in the back for extra weight and traction.
