Hi friends,
I had posted this message about the humming sound coming from the wheels, but found no response. i got the trouble sorted out. they were worn out bearings. saved 2.5K by getting it done out of showroom. now the car is running fine.
Thanks anyway,
cheers!

I was told by the Hyundai guys too that it has to be changed but i couldnt believe it! how could it be possible that the bearings would've gone off so fast? Hyundai *** would charge me 4.5 grand for this. is it advisable to get it done outside? What's the OEM? Please advise me on this as this is taking away from the pleasure of driving. 
Thanks,
