My mini 17" Chromes + Gold Calipers on my 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.

The reason why you are not happy is bec. your mind is set on the 20`s.



You should have gotten this:

Kidding aside, I think the stlye of the rims is nice.

Just a thought, but having 20" rims will affect your braking too? That means

you`ll wear your brakes faster?

See, were are too accustomed to the sports car tire/rim look and we don`t

realized how close minded we become. As Obama said, CHANGE will come!

LOL! Seriously, that`s why they call EX35 a crossover. It ain`t a SPORTS

CAR. You change to 20" and your suspension, gas mileage, break wear ,

pot holes , tire cost etc.....suffer. I think since you like bling bling, why

didn`t you get an 18" so you can have a low profile tire?

18's would have been great but i would then have to get new tires and the extra 1" would cost $200 more for the rims. so i thought that extra 1" isnt worth all that money but.. what do i know... should have gotten 18"

If you ever see someone else in an EX laughing at your wheels, it'll be me.

Roll down the window and say "Hi"!
