    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.

These wheels appear in photos of the Genesis but I don't see them on any production cars. KAI lists them for sale as 18" wheels, but in pictures they look much more like 19"ers. Anyone know if these are maybe the wheels on any particular trim package?

From what I have found, they only offer two wheels for the GC. The 19" Found on the track package cars or the 18" wheel. That looks like the 18" wheel listed.

In the tires, it is a 40 series on the 19" and a 45 series on the 18" so there is not that much difference in the sidewall size (yes, I know that it is just a ratio). The 18 and 19" wheels/tires use the same width tire (225/245) but have different sidewall ratios depending on if you have the 18 or 19.

In short, The picture angle may just be deceiving and it makes them look bigger than they really are.
 
I guess I am under the impression that the 18" wheels on non-Track package equipped coupes would be this one:

This definitely looks smaller than the Track's 19" ones, but they also look smaller than that other design (to me at least). I really like the Track wheel size but planning on getting a Grand Touring since its going to be a daily driver and I really like the brown interior...
