I know they are replicas but im okay with that for a few reasons
1) The finish is awesome and the design is classic
2) Price
3) Easier to resell wheels that dont cost an arm, leg, or both and ive been changing wheels every 4 months or so

Waiting for mounted pics. When you mounting them?

I still liked the ISS Forged more though. But I'm sure these will fit nice on your bagged ride.

Looks good man. Don't mind having those as a second set. The chrome black finish is sick!

Yeah I really like the ISS's and will prob get another set with them for the show season. I'm gonna get these mounted as soon as I order tires and lugs.

Thanks man! The black chrome was the selling point for me

So why'd you buy a G instead of a Genesis Coupe? Could have saved yourself a boatload of money.

People are ridiculous, nice wheels man. I see "fakes" all day in the broke *** 240 community, they only break for bunkers and curbs ("but I read it on the interwebz!") just a little easier then "real" wheels. Now you can afford to replace em all day long. Ps weight some meisters or vsxx. But their aloud to be heavy cuz their real. If your crying about 28lb 19x10.5s u bought the wrong car.

Defend them all you want.

I've seen more sets of shattered fake wheels than I can count. Most people won't admit that they broke a wheel.

Know what the best part is? Got a legit wheel? Broke it? Guess what? You can warranty it!

I like the black chrome finish. He has already said they are a temporary wheel. I think they will look sick while you make your decision on the next direction you are going to go.
