Those are Enkei AKP's. They come in 18's and 20's.
The 20's don't stagger and the 18's only stagger 1/2 an inch, 7.5 and 8.
18's Offset is 7.5, 42mm. 8, 40mm.
20's Offset is 8.5, 40mm.

hope that helps ya.

Thanks...well, id of the manufacturer helps, but the last time I was into custom wheels was for my 69 SS Chevvy, they just bolted right on, so, could you enlighten me as to what is meant by "offset" and "stagger" in your description of the technical specs?

Stagger means that either your fronts (typically for FWD cars) or your rears are wider than their counterparts.
ALL Genesis Coupes have staggered rear wheels, the rear tires are wider than the fronts.
Example, 18 inch GC rims are 7.5 inches in the front, 8 inches in the rear wide.

The offset of a vehicle's wheel is the distance between the centerline of the wheel and the plane of the hub-mounting surface of the wheel.
I believe the offset of OEM rims are 45mm, please correct me if I'm wrong.
You want to stay as close to that offset as possible to avoid rubbing or inability to mount at all.

Stock offset is +35mm I believe. Good info though dude!

Thanks! Now, I suppose the next question, at least as it relates to replacing OEM 18" wheels with the Enkai's is, will they bolt up or not without drama of one sort or another? has anyone done it?

I just placed my order a few minutes ago for some Enkei EKM3's. Call the experts at TireRack and I'm sure they can answer all of your questions as regards to what fits. I'm pretty possitive it should work fine because of all of the requirements they check when showing you the wheels for your make/model on their site.

Pulled the trigger...nice!

[snoopy0812]

The guys at tirerack are awesome (least in my dealings) got me my tires and delivered them to my dealership without any hassle or extra charges. Guy knew exactly what I wanted and didn't try to sell me on anything he had extra stock on. I'll probably use tirerack when I get my rims.

[CMcCane]

Lol so I un-pulled the trigger last night....Called them and said I jumped the gun a little too quickly that I wanted to keep looking. So basically I plan to look some more today and re-order again lol.

The EKM3's are nice but I was hoping to get some weight savings so I'm still looking haha

[Codefox]

lol...buyers remorse set in quick.

I'm kind of thinking about getting something similar to the mustang FR500's with the split 5-spoke design, does anyone know of something lighterweight that isn't too expensive? ($200ea max..)
