  • 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.

Request pics and advice!!!

I have a stock 2012 3.8L Genesis(Champagne Beige Metallic), and want to to do a few modifications such as tint,wing badges,and wheels. I'm considering 20's and am not sure which tires I want. I'm having a hard time picking out wheels for this color vehicle. Its not as easy as more popular colors like black,white,or silver. I don't want chrome wheels, so I'm leaning more towards black or gunmetal. I went to the only auto accessory/wheel shop in my town, and they said the largest I could go is 18in wheels. I obviously want larger wheels, but not at the expense of taking away from ride quality or possibly voiding the factory warranty. With that said, can anyone who owns this same color vehicle post pics with aftermarket wheel/tires?


Thanks
 
Larger wheels are done at the expensive of ride quality and strut/shock longevity. There is nothing you can do about that. I wouldn't go larger than 19" if you're now lowering the car. I would also avoid lipped wheels if you're not lowering it. It looks very awkward.
