Hey Everybody,

So my 95 q has the 15 inch turbines on it that i hate. I have spotted a set of 3rd gen q45/m45 chrome 18's for sale for a good price. My questions are,

1. Does anybody know the weight of these wheels? Im curious how much heavier they are than the turbines
2.On a pearl white q would you guys leave them chrome or paint them? I was thinking i like the anthracite color ones better but im not 100 percent sure.

Thanks

these are the wheels in question

I am not sure how much heavier they are, but it would be only about 5 lbs each I would think.
The anthracite color is the way to go I think, as the chrome and Pearl clash.
IMHO.
I am running a set of silver 19" custom Borbet wheels on my '94 Q that was repainted "Altima light green metalic". It looks fine.

That's what I was thinking that the chrome and pearl might not look good. I could get them and reprint them to that color or another color. There is a set of the anthracite wheels that are cheaper than the set I can get locally but there like 2 hours away and the tires are shot. As much as I dislike the turbines I wonder should I just hold on to them until I can get something else or get the 18's and paint them

Be sure to check the offset and spacing in the owner's manual for each vehicle. You can find the manuals at www.infiniti-techinfo.com

I know there was one wheel that was not compatible, but I thik it was the earlier M?
