Roof Rack Recommendation for Kia Optima 2006.5
Question:
Thank you for the info. Will be placing an order in the next two weeks. Do you also stock the Curt roof mounted basket 18115 or something similar to it. If you do could you add it to this page as well.

My personal favorites are racks that use the aero style crossbars. Not only do these bars look great but since they are also aerodynamic, the amount of wind noise that you experience is greatly reduced. In order to install this style of rack on your 2006.5 Kia Optima, you will need Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black # RR33SR as a custom fit.
