Default My Summer Setup

2007 is250 awd
H&R springs
19 inch genesis track wheels.
Front:19x8
Back: 19x8.5

Kumho Ecsta Tires
225/35/19 in the front and 255/30/19 in the back

It drives fantastic. Only thing that bothers me is the vibrations when idling in drive or reverse.
Heard that this problem happens with awd that have been dropped. Does anyone know if their is a solution to this?

Looks good. Those are pretty nice for a stock wheel.

Thanks everyone.

The centre caps are oem 2001 es300 centre caps. Needed slight modifications to make them fit. But pretty easy.

I was thinking about the ground effex lip kit, but I'm not for drilling holes through my car. Plus with the winters we have up here its not ideal.

I really like those wheels on the IS. Where did you pick them up? Are they OEM Genesis wheels or knockoffs?

JCat they are OEM genesis wheels.
A lot of people are finding them on the GenCoupe forum for like 600$, but I had no luck.
I opted for a brand new set from the Hyundai dealer. Doesn't come cheap at all, but your getting a brand new rim from the dealer. The're about 450$ a rim.

son of a *****! I was trying to get mine installed today exact same set up H&R springs.

they are saying I will need a centering ring. Were you able to get yours done without it. I have the tire guy saying it will fit without a spacer (FUUUUUUUUUUCK THAT...I know that's wrong) but it's back to the drawing board for me


Yours looks damn good!

Are you driving a 250awd also?
I don't have a centring ring installed but I will be putting them in. I don't think it will make much of a difference, but it will put my mind at ease.

Also mine fit with no spacers.

Does any one know if the vibration still occurs with fsport springs? im getting my set of gencoupe wheels this week im going to powdercoat them black and wanted to drop the car but if its going to be shaking il probably reconsider. can any one confirm?

BTW op they look good. Make your next mod redouts and a roof spoiler!!! =] low cost but they stand out.
