Got the summer wheels on my G80. Niche Essen M147. There are soooo few options for wheels that work with this car it's unbelievable. Most tire shops just gave up and were like: here's three super lame options, now GTFO. Tire Pirates came through and found these, which I really like. Ordered them in and test fitted them before mounting the tires so make sure I'd be happy.

Big improvement over the factory wheels IMO. Love how concaved the rears are in particular. I know black wheels are played out for so many people, but I've been making my wheels black long before it was in style. First car I did was my '84 Pontiac Acadien back in 1992 - took the wheels off and spray bombed them black. This is a look I can't not love:









Update on owning a Genesis for those curious: still can't believe all this car has to offer. Occasionally, I've thought it would have been fun to have gone to a smaller car like the S3 or a MK7.5 Golf R, but 80% of the time this is the car I want to be in. The comfort is so rad and every time I drive a car without rear steering I get pissed off now. That feature is so damn awesome for low-speed maneuverability. I don't notice it as much at high speeds TBH.

Self-driving tech is still amazing. I can just lean back and smoke my fake cigarette all the way home. I don't care if traffic sucks. The car handles it all for me.
