Found 2 sets of mine from one seller on Craigslist. Only purchased the cheaper set though.

^That link is just for the valve kit, which is the small parts that get used inside of the valve stem. It is recommended to replace these items each time you replace the tires.

Hyper silver is not a match to the factory OEM Lexus wheel color or the Genesis wheel color; however, it is close and love how mine turned out with a DIY paint job.

^I'll try.

1) Remove the outer lip on the actual cap to ensure the cap sits flush against the wheel once step #2 is also completed.
2) Clearance each one of the tabs narrowing down the amount of "wedge" so that the tabs can clear the wheel's center hub and "lock" in behind the wheel. Basically grind away the plastic until even with the "C-clip" of each cap.

Hope this makes sense and is helpful!

Those look awesome! I just purchased a set of these for my Sonata but now I'm thinking of putting them on the IS instead. Or maybe I'll find another set and do a square setup on both.

You're running 235/35/19 tires.. but the rims are 225/40/19?

So you have 4 x rims of 225/40/19? Or you're running the staggered setup of 225/40/19 F, 245/40/19 R?

I have AWD and would LOVEE this for my winter setup.

Thanks!

All those numbers are tire sizes. Wheels are measured in diameter, width, and bolt pattern. These wheels are 19" diameter by 8" wide in front and 19" diameter by 8.5" wide in rear and will accept a partially overlapping range of tire widths. The 8" wide wheel will (ideally) accept tires between 215mm and 245mm wide and the 8.5" wheel will (ideally) accept tires between 225mm and 255mm wide.

So one could run 235 tires on all four wheels or 225s in front and 245s in rear.
