Second Generation Aftermarket wheels - Genesis 3.8 AWD

[RickfromChicago]

Hi everyone,

I have a 2015 G2 sedan 3.8. I love the car but after a few months of ownership, I really think the car would look much better with an upgrade to either 19" or 20" wheels and use the stock 18" for winter only.

I have used online wheel visualizers, but they only give an idea of what they look like on the car and I cannot make any real determination using these tools. I also do not want to spend a fortune (less than $2,500) on a wheel/tire package.

Has anyone upgraded their stock 18" wheels, and, if so, did you go to 19" or 20"? As well, what types did you purchase? If you have pictures or links that would be great.

I would really appreciate any feedback and advice.

Thank you.

20's looks really nice on those cars. I have a lots of pictures with new wheels before the car was lowered and after.

My wheels are VELGEN VMB5 Matte Gunmetal in 20×9″ offset 35 front and 20×10.5″ offset 45 rear. Tires Nitto555 255/35/20 front, 285/30/20 rear. No rubbing at all.

Iirc, wheels, tires, tpms sensors set me at ~$2800

If you're near SW burbs, we could meet up, so you could see them in person and take a ride to see if you like "little bit" stiffer than OEM wheels/suspension.

Let me know if you would like to see some pictures.

Hi dareckibmw,

Thanks for the reply. Please post a few non-lowered pictures (they are very nice wheels).

Do the wheels (especially the rear), stick out from the fenders more than on stock?

Thanks.

 

[dareckibmw]

They "poke" more than original wheels almost flushed with fenders but don't stick out, if that's what you mean (see the last picture in album)

There is 8 pictures of the car, from different angle https://www.flickr.com/photos/135396985@N05/albums/72157668402227396/with/26454697614/

Very nice. My car is Parisian Grey, so I wonder whether the silver or gunmetal would look better?

 

[dareckibmw]

I went with gunmetal, because it makes the car look more aggressive....not to mention they match the paint. Parisian Gray looks almost the same as Empire State Gray.

I wanted to have something different, since the 98% cars have silver-ish wheels.

dareck i just realized you werent lowered anymore.. Are going with a setup? different coilover?

 

[srobak]

Dareck and I are both in Chicagoland as well. I have seen his car in person and it looks quite nice with the wheels I myself will actually be putting Equus wheels on my white 2015 after the winter. I've always loved the turbine/fan style...

Parisian Gray, fastest color out there, good pick!

Here is ours, Parisian Gray, 5.0 with 20 in Zenetti Venice 2-piece forged wheels in Satin black:

Here is a comparison with two other Gennys:

That's a great idea...a set of those in anthracite would look slick on my car

That does look great. The only thing I'd dread is cleaning them!

No doubt! They're $250/ea or so on ebay...not terrible

what did you do to your car today thread

 

[Rloyola0426]

Here is a link to my thread when I got new wheels and lowered my car. The beginning of the thread is my first set of springs. A couple pages down are pictures of when I got my current, more aggressively lowered springs. Dareck is on my first set. I'd rather post the link than post the same pictures that everyone has already seen since I have no new pics.

Hi all,

I am considering purchasing the 19" Equus turbine wheels for my 2015 G2 Genesis Sedan 3.8 AWD. The specs for my current & Equus wheels are the following:

Current:
8 X 18, offset 36

Equus (staggered):
8 X 19, offset 31
9 X 19, offset 36

Will they fit?

Thanks.
