Photoshopped of course...





I hope it would look something like that anyway... how is the fit with 245/45VR18 stock Michelins... I guess I'd roll the fenders a bit, I'd liek to keep a slightly taller tire. Gotta find me some cash!

I really like the stock/factory feel to them. Not aftermarket rice, y'know?

Those wheels look really nice! They won't rub so you shouldn't have to worry about that. good luck on finding ca$h for the purchase. Good choice!

I hate rims with lips, and I esp. hate chrome rims. Those stock Infiniti's look HOT.

I really wanted to go with 2002 17" stock infiniti rims, I think they were off a G35 if I remember correctly. Even used they were well over a $1,000 off ebay. I would go for it if you can afford it.

i think they look sweet on the max..
didn't expect them to be that nice..

what you will need is lowering springs though, because it will stand up like an SUV, even worse than it is now

also
to keep the speedometer working as close to stock as possible, 18" rims are usually supposed to be paired with 40 profile tires, not 45.. 45 is ideal for 17's.. you will be a few mph off going like 60..
still
i like teh look

They will look cool...until...
...a Q45 pulls up to you at a stoplight.

Then you will have to pretend that you are not looking.

BTW They do look nice...

They're pretty cool...
but I like them better on the car they originally came from. And I'm not a huge fan of the even number of spokes...anyone knows that 5 or 7 looks hottest. Asymmetry is king!

luckily for him infiniti doesn't seem to be selling any q's so that shouldn't be a problem

I only find it odd
that the centercaps have the infiniti symbol. I dont think you can take that off by itself and who wants to look at your hubs?
just my .02

TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! Those rims look SWEET while rolling! What finish are they? Aluminum? Polished? How wide are they? Hopefully 18 x 8.5 that would look aggressive...if their anything slimmer then 8 i'm not gettin' them.

About the center caps...I suppose you could leave them like that...not such a bad thing, Infiniti IS Nissan after all...
Or try a dremel tool? And try your luck finding paint to match the finish?


The color is like a light gunmetal or titanium. Darker than regular silver. I think the width is 8".

Now here comes the 2 most important factors:

1)$$
2)Weight


I wonder how much these puppies cost. Hopefully E-bay will start selling them! I fear though that they will weigh in at about 50lbs. each with tires. I mean, look at the Q's engine, 340HP V-8, it's not like it needs light wheels.
