I have also seen some wheels that state you have to have rubber valve stem TPMS sensors since they fit like a regular rubber valve stem with pressure instead of have the bolt together 2 piece design used on a lot of OEM wheels.
His Raacing Hart C2s errrrrr I mean My C2s are kinda like that as well. They have a hole drilled in the rear barrel (back behind the spokes) and the valve stem is metal and has a 90 degree bend and came out the front to access it

Those wheels look good. Put some tasteful tint on and you're done!

Wheels really fit the car well. I agree on the tint and a drop. Hopefully they come soon than the next 500 miles will.

The rear fitment from the pics seem spot on but you could use a spacer on the fronts to fill it out.

Plan was to drive it but lucked out and have a client that allows me to work for home. Just like my 16 yr old TL I plan to keep this car forever.

Impractical. At some point I'm going to dump the TL for a toy but with 3 young kids I need a backseat. Genesis was supposed to replace the TL I just decided to keep it and use it for airport/train/dirty kids in soccer uniforms car.

dump the TL and buy a s2000, then put your 8000 miles genesis to use.

Keep the s2000 for another 10 years and you will be making $$. Since you like to keep cars for a long time and don't drive much. Why not get something that is still relatively "cheap" and guaranteed to appreciate in value?

I have 14k on the rears which are now toast and i should be able to get more than 40k on the fronts. Great tire for the price.

That definitely goes good with having the gun metal wheels. Helps make them pop in my opinion.

They are actually a matte charcoal finish. Very dark gray.

Perfect tint!

Love the way she looks. The only thing that stands out to me is the lower chrome trim on the rear and side. Ever thought of doing a body color match or a matte charcoal to match the wheels?

There is a Matte Dark grey plastic dip color that might look real good for covering that up.

Thinking about it but there is a lot more chrome on the car. I believe they may make body colored trim. Gotta check the dealer. Good idea though.

Can't decide. I love the open look of the 2015 Genesis grill. Cmod makes a grill for the Genesis. Have the Mugen knockoff on my TL and it's not bad.

Whatcha all think???
Stock grill

Cmod grill

Will be painted body color.
Here's a black Genesis with this grill

Sadly no one on the Genesis board has one. One guy sold his but the person who bought it hasn't installed it yet.

Oh I thougth that was the 2016. Yeah that is an entirely different car I should wake up before posting.

I am not entirely sold on the grill like that being body color vs some sort of maybe pearl like silver to make it stand out even different from the stock silver since you couldn't do it in chrome like that.
