2011 Artic Blue EX35...

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

I saw my first one of the these this past Monday. I was walking outside with my headphones on and at first I really thought it was the sky reflecting off a very white car... it was not.

The first two we had (I was told) were actually pre-ordered.

I do really like those wheels. They were used on the 09-10 M Sport. This setup uses better matched tires,thankfully.

My 2011 EX35 might have been one of those first two orders that SteveTheTech mentioned in his post. I bought mine at a dealer in Alexandria, VA in December 2010. It was trucked down from New Jersey. Although Arctic Blue was not my first choice of colors at the time, I have grown to appreciate it for its uniqueness. Complete strangers have walked up to me to say how much they like the color. In sunlight the vehicle's finish is highly iridescent; this quality, I believe, is what catches the eye. I really like the wheels, not only because they are beautiful, but also because something in their design seems to make them repel dirt and dust. I have wondered if the airstream's movement over the wheel's spokes creates just enough lift to keep dirt and dust airborne.

I like the Wheels, too.

Do they have Dunlops on them ?

Mine has the same wheels. They are the 19 inch alloys that comes with the Deluxe Touring Package with Bridgestone tires (245/45R19). The wheels do stay very clean! A happy improvement from my older G35 that had wheel dust the first time I drove it after each wash.

My vehicle is equipped with Bridgestone Turanzas EL42. Tire size and rating is as follows: P245/45$19 98V. Frankly, I am a Michelin man--always was, always will be.

Neat.

What a small world.

It is definitely a love it or hate it color. But the on a really nice EX it is ok.
I think it would look really good with some tint, as a decent contrast or the chrome strips on the door pillars.

I hope you enjoy the EX, let me know if you ever have any problems.

I also think the wheels look great on this car.

As for color it's always a matter of personal choice. :)

I just saw the Arctc Blue in person last couple days. Looks a lot better in person than it that factory pic.

I'll take and post a pic when it stops raining.

Looks like Artic Blue is discontinued for 2012.

Like the wheels.

I wouldn't want anyone to see me in it either. ;)

I love the wheels. There is a black EX with those in my dealers showroom. I stared...... a long time.
