one thing to note however is you can screw up a nice looking car/set of wheels with the wrong tires.

-personally I dont like the very thin low profile tires, ex: aspect ratio of 35, even 40 on a narrow tire like 195 or 205. obviously on a genesis you could probably go wide enough to make a 40series look good. I have always like the 50 series for small cars with narrow tires (less than 245 in width)

-also I just dont like the stretched tire look. of course this is all a matter of perspective, and now you know mine.

Reminds me too much of these really played out chrome dub snowflake-looking rims that you see on Chrysler 300's, Dodge "Chargers" and busted up 1985-1996 Caprices.







I wouldn't want my rims that I'm spending $1000.95 and will be judged for eternity to be called "big homie." ...or maybe that's just out of my league.



I understand the car culture of being slammed or "out there" (expressionist), but there's: "Cool it works really well with the car and looks good" out there and there's "These were purchased from ebay with feedback given. I hope he thanked the poor UPS guy for lifting those." I'm not against them, but I think it would give it this cheap luxury look instead of real class. I'm 100% sure if someone doesn't like their rims or gets bored/tired of them, they will not like their whole car and will eventually be tempted to get rid of the car. If you have nice, classy rims it will pay off aesthetically--just keep looking.



You're welcome.
