I recently changed the stock wheels on my car for a set of 2024 Kia Sorento OEM wheels I got from a coworker. I think they fit the car’s style better. What do you all think?
The Kia logo is confusing but otherwise they look great!

Agreed. Fits the car so well.

Thank you!
But yeah, agreed…
If I get to it I might paint/cover the Kia logos for that exact purpose, but otherwise thought they looked good, especially considering Kia and Hyundai are “related” lol

You should be able to find authentic Hyundai wheel caps. You’ll have to figure out what size you need, but they should run around $40 for a set.
Once you swap those out, please post another picture - I think it would look incredible.
@Ellis
If I can find that I’ll definitely go that route and will update if so!

That’s an odd shape (irregular octagon) and it’s not just a round insert. I can’t tell if it’s just an “large insert” in the lug nut cover or if the lug nut cover is a solid piece. Unless Hyundai sells those wheels, you aren’t going to find any “off the shelf” solution.
I don’t hate it, but I do like the OEMs more
The OEM wheels are specifically designed to minimize drag and wind resistance. Sure they don’t look as good as other wheels, but this is a case of function over form.

Fair enough. I don’t necessarily disagree. Similar arguments could be made with virtually any stock setup, and it just comes down to personal preference and whether the trade-offs are worth it. In my case, my Ioniq 5 is a lease and I figured I’d make the short-term investment of having wheels and tires that I like the look of better on it for the time that I am driving it, and I’ll put the stock wheels back on when it comes time to turn it in, and sell the Kia wheels.
@Wade
No disagreements. It’s your vehicle. Get the set up that is most appealing to you.
@Wade
Has this affected your mileage as far as you can tell?

Not that I’ve noticed, but I honestly haven’t been tracking that closely. I also haven’t been driving particularly conservatively recently anyways, so in my limited experience any possibly negative effects haven’t been noticed.
@Wade
Sure, if you notice anything and want to post an update, I’d love to read it! 
I swapped the tires and wheels on my Honda Element, and it dropped my city mileage from 21 to 14. That’s one reason we bought the Ioniq. But I love the wheels too much to swap back.
These are the wheels that should’ve come with the I5. Literally fits the vibe of the car perfectly. Well done OP 
Isn’t the curb weight difference up to 1,000 lbs. between these two models? I’m not in any way a tire expert, but this doesn’t seem ideal for safety or tire wear.

Sounds like you’d know more in that area than I would. But what I do know is that the wheel and tires I put on matched at least one of the OEM trim tire/wheel options for 2024 Ioniq 5’s, perhaps from a higher trim level. Either way, wasn’t significant enough for me to consider them incompatible.

Sorrento: 3,814 to 4,213 lbs
Ioniq5: 3,968 to 4,663 lbs
I dig it. Could also be I just prefer black wheels in general. But the Kia Sorento design is pretty slick.
I think it’s very stylish and attractive, but I think I’d prefer something with more “coverage”. It would help with the aero and I’m not a big fan of seeing the rotors and calipers (except maybe carbon-ceramic rotors and painted calipers).
