  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Share Photos of Your 2015 Genesis Here.

Was looking at the BD11s too, now I see how they look might pull the trigger.

I had Vossen CVT directionals on my 2013 genesis and when I got the 2015 I didn’t want to drop Vossen money. I saw the rims online and thought they were pretty original, have a beautiful look and much cheaper
 
My G80 Sport doesn't feel lonely anymore .... wife's brand spanky new '18 Santa Fe Ultimate ;)

By the way Velgen only had 5's so was not able to work a deal with Ray. Besides my daughter knew a guy who knew a guy and I got these Niches cheap. Thanks for your help any way.
 
Sweet Dareck! That thing looks nice. You do not PLAY!!

Happy Wife - happy life ;)

Oh...but 5 spoke were/are beautiful! ..... if the insurance company pay for my damaged VMB7's after the incident I had, I'll get VMB5 again :D
 
Put a Genesis badge on it, people will think it’s a Bentayga LOL

There is a huge FB group of "Petrolheads and car spotters" in Chicagoland area, over 70k members. They know me as I post there frequently...they would hang me alive if they knew it was my car :suicide:
 
Original tires finally wore out in the rear at 28k+ on my 2015 5.0. So I pulled the trigger on new wheels/tires and followed a recurring theme with TSW Bathurst started by RLoyola and thus began my saga... Started with 255/35R20,20x9 30 offset in the front and 295/30R20,20x10 40 offset in the rear. Had everything confirmed with America's Tire & TSW up front. Loved the look and figured with the slight upsize to 27" diameter tires over the 26.5" originals i might be able to skip lowering springs. Loved the setup and everything was great for a couple days until we went to dinner with another couple. With adults in the back, the rears were rubbing at highway speed over every little dip. Went back and had the rear tires changed to 275/30R20s but the look was definitely off - shorter tires in the rear with much less sidewall. Went back in a third time and they obliged changing the fronts to 245/35R20 to match more closely. Gotta credit Americas Tire for living up to their Satisfaction Guarantee.

No longer rubbing but now wishing I could reduce the gap but worried that lowering springs will bring back the rubbing. Wanted to share my lessons learned to save others the headache.

245 & 275s - Probably need a better picture without the shadows.

Easy solution. Don't put friends in the back seat.
:unsure::sneaky::LOL:
 
Some newer pics of the ride, bought used in Feb with only 10K miles, still love it but been creeping on the G80 sport in the used market.
