  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

As I understand it there are two options for putting on different wheel caps on the V8 version of the Genesis. One that attempts to put the re-badged V6 wheel caps on the V8 and another that can be modded or purchased from KAI. Please let us know which you thinks look better.

Please see the attached images to compare the two.

V8BIG.JPG - This is the rebadged V6 wheel cap made to fit on the V8's wheel.

V8SMALL.JPG - This is the V8's rebadged wheel cap that can be purchased from KAI or modded to fit.

PS - I hope others don't mind me using their images posted on this forum. Just for full disclosure these aren't images that I took. They were simply leveraged from the forum. Thanks to the other members who provided them.

The V6 caps kill it for me. They don't flow with the spokes and look like they're clearly not intended for these wheels.
 
I can see why you might say that. This is sort of why I did the poll, because I'm in the opposite camp but it isn't like me to feel this way. There is something about all the black in V6 wheel cap that I love. The V8 wheel cap just has too much silver. Just personal preference I guess but I normally always go with the look that presents something more finished. Thanks.

I looked at the wheels a bit more and realized what I think might have swayed me is how they look in contrast to the rest of the car. Check out the two attached images comparing each wheel. Again, just personal preference but I prefer the bigger and blacker V6 wheel cap over the V8. I'm sure my opinion will change in an hour :)
