I'm thinking about buying these, putting in Infiniti center caps instead of Nissan ones, and then having them chromed. Whaddya think?

Or these...I love the look of these. Saw them on an M45 the other day and all I can say is "WOW". It was dead sexy! I know they come off a coupe, but, if the offset will fit an M, wouldn't it fit my Q?

I think that particular type of wheel design looks better without chrome.

Hmm, don't know, I was under the impression that the coupe wheels wouldn't fit, but the sedan sheels would.

Sorry, I couldn't actually help.

I think the second set would look good on just about anything..

The lux cars need that large outer lip to look sweeet.. I think the most obvious factory representation (IMO) of that style of wheel is found on the 5-series bmw. See em all day long, and they look great with the larger wide wheel.sorry for the large photo

Indeed. My favorite 7 from that era is the sport model.. Must have the 740i SPORT.. M package, better diff, bond styling.

Must have!

I feel :sad when I have to see those god awful bangled up 5 and 7 series around town.

Per the wheels, I like the first set, except for those damn rivets. So I guess the second set wins.

So will these 18" rims off the G35 fit my Q? I really, REALLY want them.

In my opinion, 16" and 17" are the perfect diameter. Anything larger (18 and bigger) starts looking too exaggerated.
