Genesis has the ugliest stock rims

[Cut-Throat]

Can someone post some pictures of these different rims, so that we can see what you're talking about?

Like I had said earlier, I saw a Wheel on a 2009 Hyundai at the dealership that was alloy and had arched spokes that was absolutely beautiful. I don't think they are available on the 2010s.

Nearwater, thanks for the pictures of the wheels. The one wheel that I saw at the Hyundai dealership was alloy and had very curved spokes. I have not seen many like this one.

Do you have a picture of the wheel that I am talking about.

Hmm, I don't have the slightest idea what kind of wheels that might be.
I thought these three were the ones offered from Hyundai.
Any possibility that it might have been a dealer option?(as in aftermarket wheels)

It's possible that they were aftermarket, but usually the dealer only displays what's available from the Mfgr. to my taste, they were one of the best wheels I've ever seen.

Now you got me all curious.
Would you be able to snap a picture next time you're there?
I'd love to see what kind of wheels you're talking about.
Thanks!

The 17" stock wheels you show are for the KDM version. The 17" wheels that we get are shown on the Hyundai web site.

I like the KDM 17" stock wheels better than the North American ones.

my new 18" rims...

It looks to me like the base 17" wheels have not changed and are the same for 2010:

I think they are by far the best looking Genesis wheels, which is strange since they are the base model.

Ah, you're right!
Thanks for the correction.

I think they look great. But I grew up when Crager SS, baby moons and slotted chrome rims is all there were.

Nearwater, I was never able to find a picture of the rims I had seen. I even went back to the dealership, but they had sold the couple of 2009s that I saw the rims on. However someone posted pics of the 2011 Genesis and the Wheels on this car look very close to what I had seen before. This is the best picture of the wheels I could find. The Arching pair of spokes is exactly what the wheels looked like on the 2009.

All,

Sometimes the best direction is use custom rims.

I used to be the kind of guy who needs to have aftermarket wheels on a car.
But I've grown to like the factory look ever since I got my old MKIV R32.
I really like the stock 3.8 18" wheels, which unfortunately doesn't fit the V8.
I've been trying to find a wheel that closely resembles that wheel but couldn't.

BTW, what size is yours? 19"?

These are 20" rims on 245/40ZR20 tires.
