First Generation Opinions on my new wheels please

Wondering what people think of this design. I used plastidip to color every other spoke black on the oem r-spec wheel. I'm thinking I like it and would go the powder coating route to make it permanent.

I think it looks good on your paint color. First glance I thought they were R-Spec rims.... Wait, they are R-Spec wheels hahaha

At a quick glance I love the thin 5 spoke look, when looking at them for a longer time, I personally don't like the look as you can see all the spokes, and see that every 2nd spoke is painted black. I've seen factory wheels done the same way stock, and I'm sure plenty of people dig the look. Just not for me.

I love the thin spoke look as well but am finding it difficult to find aftermarket ones that look right or fit. That said, my plastidpped wheels look far better in person than they do in the photo for some reason. Another OEM wheel that looks a lot like this is the Ford Taurus SHO wheel. I know ford wheels have the same bolt pattern as Hyundai but I think the SHO wheels have a smaller center bore, otherwise I would consider getting those.

I knew I recognized the design. You're right, very similar to SHO wheels. I actually considered a late model SHO before I got the Genesis, but I'm the kind of guy to do a lot of reliability research before buying a daily and the Genesis was head and shoulders above the SHO in that respect. I might be a mechanic, but why drive something I need to fix for free all the time when I could be getting paid to fix someone else's junk? lol

Wheels are like women. A matter of personal taste. I prefer blondes. Enjoy your personal taste.
