Is the Kia Stinger GT a true Grand Touring performance vehicle? This question has been debated on numerous occasions, with many consumers expressing concern with the idea of a Kia being branded as a GT performance vehicle. However, not everyone was daunted by Kia’s choice of badging. Jose Martinez, the General Sales Manager at Perris Valley Kia in Perris, California, made the decision to put Kia’s namesake GT car to the test late this March.
After learning about his road trip, the KEENDESIGN team knew that Mr. Martinez’ expedition would be greatly enhanced through the addition of a new set of KEENDESIGN wheels. Not only would a set of KEENDESIGN wheels make Jose’s trip more fun and engaging, but it would also serve as a splendid opportunity for a Kia Stinger GT owner to give an unbiased opinion of how his new wheels improved his vehicle’s performance over a long, uncompromising, and arduous journey across the country. Prior to his departure, Jose’s Ceramic Silver Kia Stinger GT was fitted with four brand new 20” KD07 wheels finished in a resplendent machined black. These KD07 wheels, like all KEENDESIGN products, are specifically engineered for Kia and Hyundai, bearing the same hub-centric design as stock models while simultaneously reducing weight and increasing performance via the utilization of monoblock forged materials. With his wheels mounted and balanced, Jose was prepared for his very own KEENDESIGN grand tour.
