if you have a chance to ride in one like my buddies, you WILL change your mind although i still cant get over the "Hyundai" name. I would pick one up just to spank people who think Hyundai aint on their level.

Yes! Just something about Hyundai...and the fact that the center caps are gone and the fact that your putting rims from another car maker on your bad *** Lexus I don't like. That's just me.

Hyundai has left a bad taste in peoples mouths, its just a shame that now they step it up and still get crapped on. But, come on those wheels look great for "Stocks"

I priced one out on the website awhile back and it came to like 28k for all the options I wanted. A used IS which is what ive been wanting was 25k. So there was no way I was passing up the lexus. Plus the genesis coupe is like a kids car to me. Late teens early 20's. Im 31 and want something more upscale ya know. But that car still makes me turn my head whenever I see it

Those wheels look awesome! But I still wouldn't buy them just because they are Hyundai wheels. I wouldn't even put them on if they were given to me for free.

On another note, back in the day's when I had a 2000 Civic Si and would race a Neon SRt-4 and get smoked, I would still be smiling cause I didn't own a "Neon"!

Makes perfect sense. I'm near 30, and im done with the race scene. More into the Lux look.

I'm 32 and my IS is completely stock and I don't have plans for mod's. Done with the racing scene but I love seeing the IS fixed up. I would rather dump money into my house. Keep up the good work.

That's not a bad idea. When members post pic's of there car's I always wonder if they own the house behind them or is it there parent's or something. I don't know why I do. Some of these house are nice and huge.

I agree. I have custom centercaps coming. An alloy wheel is an alloy wheel in the end. I don't see how a wheel has anything to do with how a car is engineered.
