Crazy how those Hyundai rims look so similiar to our OEM 18's but the simple CURVE in the star makes these Genesis rims look way better!

So clean and simple exactly my taste in style. How would you compare ride comfort to stock?

+1 Mine too. :-) Looks really good. (BTW: Thanks for posting your "summer" wheels. They look good).

Thanks guys. The ride is very smooth but doesn't offer as much travel since it's lower to the ground.

I love GFX kit. Nice and Clean and OEM-standard in terms of quality and fit and finish.

Did you drill or 3M-tape your front and rear bumper?

I have 09 front GFX waiting for installation and thinking about drilling the bumper.

On the rear, I read it yesterday on https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-method-3.html

A guy with 2011 IS reported that some markings inside the bumper were missing or mis-located.

The upgrades looks nice! Can't wait to see what it will look like with your summers on...

Speaking of summers, I'm dying to put mine back on!!! Enough of this snow already, I want to drive my IS hard again... winter with the RWD is not as fun
