The Hyundai Tucson R commands attention on the road, but factory wheels rarely do justice to a vehicle of this stature.
The Tucson R is a mid-size crossover weighing around 1,800 kg. Factory wheels on a vehicle this size tend to look undersized, leaving visual gaps in the wheel arches that undermine the car's proportions. A set of properly specified custom forged wheels — filling the arches, matching the body's visual mass — changes the entire stance.
The Zephyr Ver1.4 is a seven-spoke concave design built specifically for the Hyundai Tucson R's proportions. Seven broad spokes sweep from hub to lip with a gentle concave curve. The design is muscular without being aggressive, matching the Tucson's sharp-edged body language. Generous window areas between spokes ensure adequate brake cooling. In matte black it complements the car's factory paint palette, but the full range of finishes means you are not locked into a single look.
| Bolt pattern | 5x114.3 |
| Recommended diameter | 19" to 21" |
| Width range | 8.5J - 9.5J |
| Offset range | ET35 - ET50 |
| Centre bore | 67.1 mm |
| Material | 6061-T6 forged aluminium |
| Weight | ~30% lighter than equivalent cast wheel |
A square setup works well for this platform, keeping tyre rotation simple and inventory manageable. If you are considering an upgrade from cast or flow-formed wheels, the weight saving from forged aluminium improves every dynamic aspect of the car — from braking distances to mid-corner balance.
The Zephyr Ver1.4 is part of Hodoor's AI wheel design programme. The system generates over 1,000 unique wheel concepts per day, each engineered to be manufacturable as a forged monoblock. You are not choosing from a static catalogue — the AI produces designs tuned to a specific car's dimensions, brake clearances, and visual character. The design phase is free. You only pay when a concept moves into production.
If none of the AI-generated options suit your build, our in-house designer works from hand sketches or reference images. Either route leads to the same CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet, the same balancing and inspection process, and the same four-to-eight-week production timeline.

Will these clear the factory brakes on the Tucson R?
Yes. All recommended diameters clear the factory caliper and disc package. Aftermarket BBK users should email us their caliper specs.
Do these also fit the standard Tucson or Tucson Hybrid?
All current-generation Tucson models share the 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 67.1 mm bore. Width and offset preferences may differ for non-R models. Contact us for specific guidance.
Are these wheels suitable for light off-road use?
Forged 6061-T6 aluminium handles gravel roads and rough surfaces far better than cast wheels. For regular off-road driving, the grain structure of forged aluminium distributes impact loads more effectively, reducing the risk of cracking. More detail in our forged vs cast wheels guide.
