Very nice! Those Genesis wheels are becoming quite popular on the 2IS.

Your 2011 IS looks great lowered with the new wheels!

Still deciding, but seeing all these lowered 2011s makes me want to lower mine!

^ Do it Wunko! I'm just on Fsport springs and it makes a huge visual impact. I have the AWD so it was even worse!

They're only on the 2011's. No previous IS had these wheels.

It's a must.

Simply lowering the car- even if you don't put new wheels on it- completely chnages the presence of the vehicle. It's nuts how different it looks.

**edit** do you have Genesis wheels as well? Can't tell from your sig.

I am a bit concerned about losing the stock ride quality but it looks good and like you said though, it changes the presence of the vehicle.

I don't have the Genesis wheels myself; it's just the 2011 F-sport package wheels. I was hoping some people would put up some more photos of lowered 2011 F-Sport package cars but I think I only saw like two or three people on this forum do that.

I think im getting that same wobble at the same speed after I got my BC coils on. Again its nothing I cant deal with. But tomorrow im setting up the ride height and will double check the mechanic put back in the hub rings. But I think it would be alot worse especially at higher speeds if the hub rings werent in.

I get the wobbles at low speeds around 10 mph but, they disappear after that. I just ordered a set of hub centric rings. We'll see if it helps a little.

let me know if you fix it. My wheels are brand new with new hub rings. Had them on for 2-3 weeks before the coils. Just got the coils installed tuesday but didnt feel the wobble til thursday. Although the first day I felt a little more vibration at a stop light when idleing. But now thats gone, lol. Other then that the ride is great
