wheel

I live in Houston, TX where I would think the dealers have a fairly good rotation of vehicles. I tend to test drive cars quite a bit because I'm always curious what is out there. I have no idea why this is, but the Hyundai Genesis and Equus that I've driven over the past few years seem to have...

Got in the car Saturday just after lunch and noticed the finish is coming off the steering wheel. At about the 1230 or 1 o'clock position there is a patch about 1/2" wide by 2" long that is discolored and the pebble grain finish is gone. Its a little rough/ragged around the edges, too. I...

Hi all, I recently started having a problem which is causing the black plastic around the inner lip of the bumper in the wheel well to keep popping out. The plastic part of the bumper that holds it in place is roughly 1/4" in width at best and it appears that it keeps flexing enough to allow...

I noticed a degrading of the leather on my '12 RSpec's steering wheel. It was more or less hidden from view, being on the backside roughly at seven 0'clock. It appeared as though the leather in this section had been stretched too tight as there were cross-ribbing marks. It was not caused by my...

Hey all need some suggestions for and how to go about determining the correct spacer for my application. I understand what a wheel spacer does and what it is for. However I've never done it and want some advice. Here is my application: 2009 LOWERED 1.75 front / 1.25 rear. Stock 4.6 alloy...

I just purchased a 2009 Genesis 4.6 with 37k miles and love the car, but noticed the steering wheel vibrates while idling in drive. When I shift to neutral the vibration goes away. The rear wheels also vibrate while the car is in motion. I did not purchase the car from a Hyundai dealer, but...

Hi: I have recently purchased a set of R Spec Rims for my 2009 Geny Tech. I have ordered a nice set of winged centers caps, but I also need (20) wheel nuts that will fit these new wheels. I would appreciate any help which you all can give me in aquireing a new set. Thanks Kevin

Hey - I know it's a hot topic regarding the Winged Wheel, airbag or Badge, but I went Badge for now - I like it, I think it works with my interior. I agree when I got the Badge and the thick tape piece, it was confusing for a minute, but I figured it out. Some directions wouldn't have hurt...

Just picked up my new R-Spec in Platinum Metallic! It's awesome!!:D:D The dealer put on my wings in the front and back but said they can't do the steering wheel anymore due to safety issues with the airbag and voiding the warranty. Has anybody heard this before? Thanks,

Hello Everyone, I'm new to the forum. I picked up my new 5.0 R spec a couple of weeks ago and I'm truley in love. The only complaint I have is the wheels. A car with such an amazing natural rake to it deserves a Staggered wheel set up with 275's on the back. However every place I call says...

The tilt worked well after the TSB was applied about 18 months back. Then, several weeks ago, it started to fail to come down when the car was started. At first, it would go up automatically and the switch would bring it down, then the switch quit working and it stayed full up all the time...

Was rather chilly today up here in Canada so I decided to try the heated steering wheel for the first time. Wow, really nice, warms up extremely fast and gets very hot. Nice touch, thanks Hyundai. :):) Thought it would be like a rear defroster where it defaults to off upon shutdown/startup of...

I think I read a thread somewhere in here about the effects of putting larger wheels on the car. I think the thread said it was alright to go one inch larger that stock, but any wheels more than one inch over stock could cause problems with shifting and the indicated speed and the odometer...

Just got a new 2012 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 and have put on the little wings on the front, rear and steering wheel. Here is my question - am considering during the center wheel caps as well and have found different emblems. One is a simple stick-on similar to the one on the wheel and the others are...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some wheel advise. I'm upgrading my wheels and am going with a set of 19x8 wheels and am down to 2 choices that are the same price. I've done some searches and haven't found either of these on a Genesis. Take a look and give me your thoughts! TSW Brooklands...

All, Just received in my wheel centers for my 2012 Genesis R-Spec and wing for the back. Looking to do the swap this weekend, but for those that have done the center cap swap, looking for some advice of those before me. What is the best tool to remove the center cap, I see on the replacements...

I have being using MOG through my iPhone 4S with my 2012 Genesis 4.6 since I purchased it back in Aug 2011. MOG is a wonderful streaming music service that allows you to play songs, albums and playlists from a selection of over 20 millions selections at a bitrate of 320k for a cost of under $10...

2011 V8 Genesis sedan. I've had it about 4 weeks and just noticed a small vibration in the steering wheel when I'm backing out of a parking spot or turning out of my driveway. Any ideas? Will definitely take it to the dealer tomorrow morning.

My steering wheel was perfectly fine then I raised the height about an inch or so and turned the car off with out moving it back. Now the steering wheel only goes down 3/4 of the way. I like it to move all they way down. This happened once before and the dealer reset it. How can I reset this? I...

I have a 2012 Black/Black sedan with both available option packages. The roads in the Los Angeles area are really bad, potholes everywhere. Here's my question:the car's suspension is a lot stiffer than my old Lexus, hence the potholes help to create a somewhat rough ride. How often should I...
