20" TSW & Hankook Ventus V12 Evos

[bobmarley421]

I finally got rid of the stock 17" wheels and Michelin MXM4 Primacy tires that came on the car when I purchased it. I feared changing to a 20" wheel and tire would totally destroy the ride quality. I found this change to be a very subtle. I went with a staggered setup of 20" inch TSW Nardo wheels in 20 x 8.5 in front and 20 x 10 in the rear. Tire choice was Hankook Ventus V12 Evos 245/40/20 in front and 275/35/20 in the rear. After a short break in period of 300 miles thus far I can say I am very happy with the ride. The Hankooks seem to be a great tire for the money. I would expect they should be even better in another 200-300 miles. Also anyone considering changing wheels and tires I would highly recommend getting a Road Force Balance done on the new wheels n tires. I will be posting some pics shortly.

Now after doing the wheels, seeing how open the design is. I NEED new crossdrilled & slotted rotors. Also trying to decide if I should paint the cailpers or buy the aluminum Genesis covers. Anyone that has had aftermarket rotors installed for some time feel free to chime in with any recommendations.

I already have the R1 Concepts rotors on my list along with the EBC as well. I did find some interesting rotors on Brakeworld.com made by Chromebrakes. These seem to be really nice and use a proprietary coating that lasts 5x longer than zinc and comes in multiple colors. The rotors also have a lifetime warranty like the R1 Concept rotors except unlike the R1s you dont have to purchase their brake pads for the warranty to be valid. That was one thing I didnt like about the R1s.

Try Zeckhausen Racing, http://store.zeckhausen.com/catalog/index.php. I "upgraded" my braking system on my 2009 Sonata Limited 3.3L V6 and my 2010 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track A/T, and I'm planning on going back to them for the drilled & slotted rotors, pads and stainless steel brake lines for the sedan!
