I have been looking for new set of summer wheels for my 2015 Genesis. I want to go Staggered with 20' and I wanted to see what you guys think of the Ruff R1's
http://www.statuswheels.com/wheel.cfm?id=22092
I also like the R2's but the R1's are my favorite. Looking at 20 x 8.5 +30mm upfront and 20 x 10 +42mm rears. I'm probably going to be dropping the car with either ARK springs when they come out or Storm. I would want to do Storm but the aggressive drop for a daily driver might be too much.
 
It is funny you mentioned these wheels. A buddy of mine owns a shop showed me these and said they would be nice since he could not get the Rohana RC22 like I wanted. It is just something about these wheels I dont like. They remind me of audiocityusa STRs. They just strike me as cheap. AND i hate they only come in chrome and that black (YUK!). No polished or graphite/gray.

If you are like me and want that CONCAVE 5-star check out Rohana RC22 (looks better than Vossen to me) or giovanna mecca or STANCE C5.
My issue is to go up one size which would 19" (more expensive tire) or go up 2 sizes which is more common in 20"?????


Just my 20 cents.
 
Whoa those RC22s are bonkers! Much better than the vossens. Wow. I want them.

I do like those RC22s
 
I do like the R2's. They only come in 20" or 22"?
 
yea both the R1 and R2 come in 20" or 22" only
 
The Ruff's are interesting - but they look kinda weak.

Are the spokes solid? What's the cross-section look like?

I have been watching the RC22 for over a year hoping the price will go down.
MAN I want them BAD!!! I was at Road Atlanta in October (the races) and saw an Audi wide body with these on it and needed like 3 towels. OMG!!! They are just clean and sophisticated wheels that should come standard on Genny!
I wish we could roll with 10" all the way around like the Accords without much modification. That concave. MAN o MAN.

My choice when I get the money up:

1. Rohana RC22 staggered 20" (Silver)
2. Giovanna Mecca staggered 20" (Silver or Chrome)
3. Stance SC5 staggered 20" (Silver)
4. Niche Milan
5. Koko Sardinia-5 (made by Giovanna)

If anybody wants to donate a set to me, I will not be mad or give me a nice discount I wont be mad either. HAHAHHAHAHA

So I ended up getting the Ruff R1
20 x 8.5 +38mm Fronts
20 x 10 +42mm Rears

I wanted to see how they fit before I purchase tires: Lot clearance up front and I have about 1.5" of clearance in the back. They sit pretty flush too.

Weird thing is that they have 2 valve stem holes. Apparently it is pretty common. First for me.

Now Just need to get tires. I'm going with
245/35/20 Fronts
285/30/20 Rears

I probably should get hub rings, i just got to figure out the factory bore size. Anyone know that?

those look good... How about a nice yellow caliper up front.. Make that caliper "pop" when driving... just an idea... i'll be painting mine in the future..

Do you have a link to that roof spoiler? IS that the LED type? or no LED? thanks

I have one as well:

That's correct, the stock brake light passes right through. Believe me you will not need 3M adhesive tape with this. You can get it if you want, but whatever it ships with is not coming off without some serious determination (so make sure you're careful upon installation).
 
thanks Aquineas
 
Yea I got it from eBay. It contains 3M double sided tape,some sealant and the spoiler does have 4 window clips.
 
So finally got them mounted.






 
looks great man....
