More importantly, though, it's bringing its Mickey Mouse-shaped wheels with it. And, in a few years' time, these Mickey wheels could very well be must-have collectibles for car enthusiasts that have a penchant for weird rims, or happen to also be Disney Adults. [Hyundai]() first showed off the Disney-fied Ioniq 5 at last year's New York Auto Show. At the time, the automaker said it would eventually go on sale as a limited-run model. Now to actually see it hit dealerships with wheels shaped like Mickey-freakin'-Mouse is still kind of surprising. And since only 1,000 vehicles are being built, there will only be 1,000 sets of these rims in existence. Given how some folks [go nuts for Disney memorabilia](), it's not hard to imagine avid collectors chasing them. Strangely, these Hyundai Mickey wheels aren't the first oddball rims designed in the image of a famous cartoon animal. There was the original Ronal Teddy, which was shaped like a teddy bear and offered on the Mazda 121 in the early '90s. The Japanese manufacturer also once sold a "Goldy" limited-edition 121 in Europe that wore [Haribo gummy bear wheel covers](). The little hatch even received a special set of [koala-shaped wheels](), for *especially* discerning bear-wheel aficionados. And sure—Mazda may have been sniffing some weird stuff in the '90s, but car collectors love each and every one of those cute, peculiar wheels. A set of teddies can easily set you back $1,000 on the [used market](). ![]() ![]() Admittedly, Hyundai's Mickey Mouse wheels aren't nearly as obvious as the aforementioned bear-shaped wheels. It actually took me an embarrassing amount of time to spot Mickey's signature ear silhouette in them. Then again, that might actually be a good thing for collectors, as they simply look like neat, abstract wheels to the untrained eye. If you know, you know. To me, they give off [Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio]() vibes. In some years, we could see Hyundai's Mickey Mouse wheels become highly desirable among car enthusiasts and collectors, especially if the Disney diehards get involved. Of course, for anyone to nab them, some of those 1,000 Ioniq 5 Disney100 Platinum edition owners will have to part with their electric SUV's original rims. Thank goodness there are still Disney logos embedded in the headrests and floormats. The exclusive EV will retail for $60,775, including destination. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
