2009 Hyundai Pictures - After-Market Wheels

[Goldenbrown9638]

I thought some of you may be interested in buying after-market wheels and tires for your new Genesis Sedan. Here are a few pics that I'd like to share. This car steps up to the next level with after-market wheels & tires. Have fun shopping.....

I fixed the images for you.. Yes, indeed! The aftermarket is going to be huge for the Hyundai Genesis.. That's I'm 100% positive of.. Especially the Genesis Coupe..

Um... we'll need some springs too

 

[emdoller]

any idea how big those wheels are?

One of the cars has a after market grill as well. It now looks like a Benz.

Wheels that large look great in pictures but you wouldn't want to actually drive the car!

Can you imagine how far off the speedometer is with wheels that big? I know the owners don't care; it's all about image.

The accuracy of the speedometer can be maintained by using looooow profile tires. The ride will definitely suffer!

yes ride quality will suffer, but with the right suspension setup not as much as you might think.

I know John M from the Legacy GT forum and the guy knows his stuff.
I agree that those "Bling" wheels are for show only and can definatly overtax the shocks and springs with the added weight. Not only does ride suffer, but this will affect the handling as well.
To some it looks good, but to each his own.
I am planning on more of a "euro tuner" style look and mod for my Genesis.

I love the look. I'm trying to figure out what wheels I want for my white V8. Chrome for sure 19-20".

Agreed. But the 2nd set of wheels does not look like cheap, heavy "bling" wheels. Unsprung weight can be very damaging to a vehicle over time, thats why I would only settle for a setup that is lighter than OEM, like BBS, Kinesis, HRE, DPE, iForged etc.

There is also a formula to calculate the diameter of the wheel tire setup and to figure out the optimal size tire on a larger wheel to keep within this parameter so the speedometer is affected only slightly, if at all.

I think the Euro look will suit the Genesis quite nicely

I still like the wheels shown on the KDM Genesis that were shown months ago the best. They were spot on with the luxury look, I believe they were HREs. Probably cost about 1/3 the value of the car...
