Right now Applewife's 2019 Tucson is rocking Blizzaks on factory 17s. We had a tire go bad, and went with snow tires.
Well...there ain't no snow. So, I need wheels. Ideally, take-offs new enough that we could use the tires that come with them, at least till next Spring.
The Tucson has 17x7 wheels, 5x114.3 pattern and a 67.1 bore. What's the newest factory wheel that fits? What about cheaper car wheels like an Elantra? I'd probably have to spring for new rubber, but if they're cheap enough, why not?
That seems like mazda 6, mazda 5, etc territory.
Like a 2014 mazda 6 wheel. Same bore size, they are 17 x 7.5. Same bolt pattern. Et of right around 50.
Actually, it looks like the 17s were an option up until very recently.
Pretty much any Hyundai or Kia built in the last decade with a 5-bolt wheel. So Elantra/Forte, Optima(K5)/Sonata, Sante Fe, Sorento, Seltos, Kona etc etc etc They are pretty consistent with their offset to width so you shouldn't have much issues with clearance. They like to stay in the 45-55 offset rangein the 7-8" wheel.
5x114.3 pattern and a 67.1 bore.
Many brand factory wheels are 5x114.3 but 67.1 bore is quite wide. This will keep you from putting other brand factory wheels on a Hyundai, but most all Hyundai/Kia wheels will fit.
Aftermarket 5x114.3 wheels will likely work because aftermarket wheels are made with a large center bore (to be universal) and then the center bore size is filled with hub-centric rings to fill the gap making a tight fir to your specific brand vehicle.
I'm not sure where you are located but try car-part.com. Find a Hyundai/Kia whose wheels you are interesting and the site will report back with JYs in your area that have those wheels in-stock.

This. And you might get a set with decent tires, saving you some $$, but additionally the TPMS will likey work with your car as well.
As bob mentioned, lots of crossover in the Hyundai/Kia catalog. Use Wheel-Size.com to double check.
5 X 4.5 Bolt Pattern Cross Reference and Wheel Sizes - Roadkill Customs
Hundreds of possibilities here. Ford, Dodge, Honda/Acura, Nissan/Infinity... lots of them with bores big enough.
You can also enlarge the hub bore. I never found a shop that would touch it for some stupid liability reasons, but if they're aluminum, just use a carbide router bit and go slowly. I englarged some Ranger wheels by using a 3/4" flush cut bit, but used a 1/2" bearing on it. I know the desire for hub-centric can be strong, but as long as you're using conical lugs, totally not necessary.

I did a set with a 1/2" flush cut bit and a 3/8" bearing. It takes a shallower cut.

That might have been what I did too. I forget. That was three cars ago.
Remember ear plugs.

I played around with car-part a little for you. Since your profile lists a home town I searched near there.
I thought the best would be 4 more of the same exact 2019 Tuscon wheels in 17". That did not yeild great results. I searched things like 17" Sonata also but prices/quality were not that good.
Here is the best I found...
2018 Santa Fe, which I'd bet every dollar I have that they will be an exact and perfect fit to a Tuscon
This place, roughly 20 miles from you has 4 grade C wheels for $75 each from this Santa Fe Sport
This place about 30 miles away has 3 in what they call A-grade and the 4th in B-grade
$99-A grade
$89-B grade
These will both be "full service" JYards, not You-Pull. They are the type of place where you call and commit to them and they will have them waiting for you in the lobby when you arrive. Also a little tip... I have always found prices to be negotiable. Call and ask for one wheel. They will answer $99 and then say, "would you do 4 for $300?" You'll probably end at $350 for the 4.
In these pic the tires look like crap brands so if me, I'd just go for the wheels.
Are there any concerns about weight capabilities of the wheel?
For example, a 2023 Santa Fe/Tucson is 3,960 pounds curb weight vs a 2016 Mazda6 at 3,250. Maybe 700-1,000 pound difference fully loaded?

There are pretty good tools for this online.
Shows bolt pattern, offset, center bore.
https://www.wheel-size.com/size/hyundai/tucson/2019/#region-usdm
Wheel size also lists vehicles by bolt pattern, but you have to look at each option to find bore. https://www.wheel-size.com/pcd/5x114.3/
I googled bolt pattern and hub bore. This is European, but will probably help. https://www.wheelfitment.eu/PCD/5x114.3%20/67.1.html
I like Facebook marketplace, etc. for used wheels. Find some wheels for a less common vehicle and you can get a good deal.
For the weight question, I'm guessing you want to pick something for a crossover. You have probably the most common bolt pattern/bore.

Sante Fe and Tucson are two different classes of suv. Sante fe is Pilot/Highlander size. Tucson is CRV size. Tucson varies from 3300-3700, sante fe from 3600-4300. Sante Fe wheel will have no problems with whatever you can do with the Tucson.
Now, the Tucson shares platform with: Venue, Kona, Soul, Seltos, Sportage as the SUV side. Those also share the basic platform of hte Elantra/Forte/Veloster as well. So offsets on any of those wheels should be right where you need them,.
2022 Tucson wheels. Immaculate condition. $400 for the set. A hundred per wheel is not bad. I would have liked to have had the TPMS with them but cloneable sensors are relatively cheap.

Nice score! Did you find those local to you?
