Just got back from the dealership and thought maybe you guys would like to see the new wheels on the coupe. I searched on here but couldn't find any pictures of them so hopefully this isn't a repost!! Not too different but sexier in my opinion! Sorry the picture quality isn't great; I'm a bit of a retard with cameras.

18 inch michelin's is a huge upgrade on rubber, but the wheels aren't sexy at all.

very nice! i like that color on the coupe. i liked red BUT it was the only color that wasn't metallic so it didn't sparkle in the sun, this one looks like it does. plus the tires are a lot better and the rims look a little bit nicer but VERY familiar like there is another Nissan OR Infiniti with the EXACT SAME RIMs

those rims fits into the infiniti rim look, i guess the 17''s were just out of place to start with

Don't worry, it isn't actually orange. It just looks orange because of my fancy camera skills (lack there of).

wow rims look 1000 times better than the 08's offering. still would like to see nissan lower that gap in the wheel well... wtf is up with that?! every nissan in the past 10 years or so has had that horrible gap that's especially bad on the front wheels.

Wheels are "ok" but like everyone else I wish Nissan had put better rubber on my '08 coupe.

You fail at reading

It's the same color as your coupe. His camera caused the photo to change the color...

I like better than 08 but not that great, the 18" of decent rubber helps, Potenzas eat goat butt, as was the case with the old Z.

pkrutop can you please clarify the color choices for 2009? Are there new colors or the same ones? Take better shots if there are new colors! I'm excited to see what Nissan came out with!

I kno the 09 coupe doesnt get any new colors, but a burnt orange would look good.

All of the colours for the 2009 coupe are exactly the same. The sedan got 3 or 4 new colours though. Just to be clear, the coupe in the pictures is red, not orange . I should have claimed that i had awesome photoshop skills or something making it orange

i have a feeling those new wheels will look better on the sedan than the coupe, as they were with the 17's that came with the coupes for 08.
