Verna alloy wheels from the factory measure 16 inch and wear 205/55 R16 rubber on every trim from HX 6 up to HX 10, Turbo included. HX 2 and HX 4 sit lower down the range on fifteen inch rims with 185/65 R15, and all trims stow a fifteen inch spare.
Turbo Vernas get a distinct alloy pattern matched with red front calipers. Owners of fifteen inch cars wanting alloys have an easy path: the sixteen inch size Hyundai already uses on upper trims.

Verna alloy wheels by trim
| Trim | Wheel | Tyre |
|---|---|---|
| HX 2, HX 4 | 15 inch | 185/65 R15 |
| HX 6, HX 6+, HX 8, HX 10 (1.5 petrol) | 16 inch alloy | 205/55 R16 |
| Turbo (HX 8, HX 10) | 16 inch alloy, own design, red front calipers | 205/55 R16 |
| Spare, all trims | 15 inch | 185/65 R15 |
Under the earlier badge names, EX and S rode on fifteens while SX, SX(O) and Turbo had sixteen inch alloys.
Finding the Verna's PCD, bore and offset
No PCD appears here because two independent sources did not agree on one we could verify. Finding it yourself takes minutes. Count the lug nuts first. Then turn a factory alloy over: width, offset (stamped ET) and frequently the bolt pattern are cast into one spoke's rear face. Hyundai's handbook or any authorised workshop can confirm too. Aftermarket rims need an exact match on stud pattern and bore; hub rings can fill a larger bore, but nothing fixes a wrong pattern. See our PCD calculator along with the PCD meaning page for measuring tips.
Common upgrades, pros and cons
Fifteen to sixteen. Shifting an HX 2 or HX 4 onto sixteen inch alloys with 205/55 R16 mirrors the upper trims, so it is the low risk route. Steering sharpens and the arches look filled. Expect a slightly firmer ride across patchy tarmac.
Seventeen. Hyundai never offered seventeens on this sedan. Pairing them with 205/50 R17 holds rolling height within roughly 1 percent of the sixteen setup, yet the slim wall exposes the rim whenever a speed breaker is taken briskly. Pick a tyre whose load code equals or beats the original, and tell the insurer.
Keeping Verna alloys clean
Front disc dust clings to these alloys and, ignored for weeks, eats into the clear coat. Hose off loose grime, then work in a gentle pH neutral wheel wash using a soft bristled detailing brush. Skip harsh acid sprays, which leave a cloudy finish. Following drives through flooded city streets, wash away mud and dry the spokes. Stop a hand's width from the footpath edge when parking, because kerb scuffs are the commonest alloy injury on city sedans.
Fixing kerb rash and bends
Minor scuffs on a painted alloy can be sanded, filled and resprayed by a wheel refurbisher. Machined two tone faces must go on a lathe for a fresh cut, which takes longer. A pothole bend is often pressed straight, but any crack means replacement, never welding. Steering vibration around 100 km/h after an impact suggests run out; get the rim checked and book wheel balancing.
Questions owners ask
How big are Verna alloy wheels?
Sixteen inches on HX 6 and every trim above it, Turbo too, carrying 205/55 R16 tyres.
Do HX 2 and HX 4 come with alloys?
They roll on fifteen inch wheels with 185/65 R15. Check the car in front of you, since some owners fit alloys later.
Can Turbo alloys go on a regular Verna?
Same sixteen inch diameter, so an upper trim car should accept them. Compare the PCD, offset and bore markings first.
Are seventeen inch rims safe on a Verna?
They are not factory fitment. A 205/50 R17 keeps rolling height close, but its thin wall makes pothole rim damage more likely.
Verna PCD?
Not confirmed from two sources. Read it off the rear of a factory alloy, in the handbook or at an authorised workshop.
