20” wheels

[Looney100]

Thanks but temporarily Sold out !

Just like new EVs in Canada. A great price, if you can find anyone with stock to sell.

I got my winter tires installed yesterday. Came in under $2K all-in. 2/3 the price as the package from Genesis, and with better tires.

The absence of the GV60 from their computer system gave the folks at Costco some heartburn.

Which costco branch?

I took advantage of the long weekend and nice weather to put the winter wheels on the vehicles. I was struck by how much lighter the 18" combo is vs. the stock 21s.
The huge sidewall was also incredibly noticeable.

A quick first drive to the office this morning on the new 18s.
I wasn’t paying close attention, but the ride feels a little smoother, and tire noise a little lower.
The 9km ride - with 50/50 highway/city distance - is certainly a very small sample size, but efficiency seems to be up a fair bit. Prior trips came in at 18-19 kwh per 100km, this morning was 16.4.
The car now looks like I should enter it into the Dakar Rally, the extra sidewall height is striking.

Good to know about the improved efficiency, I'm putting on my 18s by the end of the month and hoping to achieve the same result. What winter tires you got? I'm surprised your winter tires have lower tire noise, I got the X-ice so I will see how that performs once installed.

Cheers.

It could be that the original tire has the noise absorbing Foam.

I’m running ”X-Ice Snow” tires. I suspect they may be the same as yours as I don’t believe they had the 18” size in the other X-Ice varieties.
I’ll pay closer attention on the ride home to the sound and feel.

The initial mileage improvement may have been due to warmer temperatures yesterday morning. Numbers last night and this morning were in line with prior ones.

Also, the car didn’t miss a beat with the new TPMS sensors. No notifications of any sort or pairing/programming needed.

 

[Looney100]

Another update… I took a long drive today and about half an hour in I got a “check TPMS system” error message that chimed every ten seconds or so and couldn’t be shut off.
The car was throwing errors for the TPMS system and all four tire sensors. I cleared the code, and it didn’t come back during the trip.
I’ll keep an eye on it, but the tire swap isn’t looking as easy as it initially appeared.

Any further update on the TPMS errors/situation? How were you able to clear the codes - you have a code reader or can you clear via car screen?

I have a code reader I could clear them with. I left it connected yesterday for a while while driving and the pressure and temp readings for all four tires did not budge. I suspect the batteries are dead.
I ordered a tool and programmable sensors from Amazon, which should be at the house tomorrow, so I will be able to tell for sure, and will correct the issue on the weekend when I have a little time.

Wish the OEM wheels were black as well. Looking good there! Hope you can resolve the TPMS issue soon.

Love these! What was the brand of wheels. I can’t seem to find them here in the states and would worry that another brand might not clear the calipers. I tried to goggle CRW GT1 and could not find anything.

As I stated in an earlier post, I tend to go cheap with rims, but never sacrifice tire quality.

I went with a set of 18x8" CRW GT1 wheels with a 43.5 offset. Fit is excellent, they are hub-centric, and they weigh only 23lbs each.

I'll be going with a set of 255/55/18 Michelin X-Ice Snows. I'll pick them up whenever I see a sale.

I've never used studded tires. I'm not sure how I'd feel about the road noise. I also wonder how they'd impact rolling resistance and therefore, range.

You're better off to go do a wheel fit to ensure it is cleared. I did that with 2 different wheels/brands until I found one that is cleared, I think you need at least 40mm offset to be real safe.

The TPMS issue will be resolved this weekend. I have new sensors and a TPMS tool arriving today. Only question is whether I can get my money back for the shoddy sensors now in the wheels.

Wheels are here. I suspect they are sold under a number of different brand names.

FYI: The Genesis branded wheels are made by Fast Co in Toronto

The TPMS issue seems to be my fault, the sensors are operating as they should, they are just not the proper ones for the vehicle.
The ones I bought from Amazon were listed as being 433MHz and for Hyundai/Kia vehicles, so I ordered them. Had I scrolled much further down I would have noticed the list of models and years that they were compatible with and that no recent or Genesis vehicles were among them.

I'll swap them out this weekend. I now have cool TPMS tool and programmable sensors, so I can read the OE sensors and tell the new ones to mimic the frequency & serial numbers of the originals.
