THE attractive five-spoke plastic wheel cover is as indicative as the rest of the car's chunky styling that Hyundai has definitely aimed to make a thorough job of the car's looks. In a more practical vein, a full-size spare tyre is provided in all models, with 5Jx13 steel wheels used by the Accent three-door.

Tyres are 175/70HR13 radial ply, sourced from South Korean manufacturers Kumho or Hankook.
