I REALLY don't like concave wheels but I kinda like those. I think the CV3s would look even better!

I'd have to disagree w/ you Mikey....I think that car is fricken seXy man. I hate how similar they look to a G sometimes when I see then on the highway...copy cats. Uneven windowline gets them every time though

No I love the look of the Genesis, it's the concave wheels I'm not a fan of. But they look pretty good on there!

Concaves are obviously a totally diff type of wheel. I wasn't a fan of ANY of the vossens until they came out with the CV1's and the CV3's.

The wheels on that car are hott though. The deep concave look can be pulled off on the right cars and setups.

I love how those wheels look and for once the Genesis being a copy cat is a good thing because I don't have to try and visualize it on my ride. That the exact finish I d go for too.

On a side not_ I have a package waiting in St paul with delivery in the A.M!! Haven't done a teaser thread or had anything worthwhile to show in a while... so excited

Yep having to save for FL does limit what can be purchased. My dilemma right now is whether I should buy 3 smaller items (price wise) or go with one big mod before the trip

its all about building a ram for the end of your driveway

As for Tevi's response, I had always said the exact same thing. Then after studying as much as I did, and now after a year of driving the G on a VERY QUALITY suspension, I would def disagree.
Its all about protecting your wheels with the right rubber, and IFFF you want to slam your car, its one of the few parts you just CAN NOT cheap out on.

To give an example, Andrew(red g). His wheels are with a step lip, and within the first 3 day so owning them, HE CRACKED/BENT one of the lips!!!!!!!!!! I looked at his setup and was like WTF??????? He's on SPRINGS, and his tires, no joke, rub 100% all of the time.

Definitely would agree that proper suspension (coilovers) is needed is you re going for the slammed look. Now that my G is back to being a DD, slamming is not an option but I will be going lower for a better stance that's for Damn sure. The more I look at my car n the more I feel like it has 4x4 status. Coils are in my future, the question is how soon... At this rate I ll have to get a part time job to support my addiction
