What do you guys think of the new sport wheels for the 2016 Q70. Will anyone be trying to grab a pair for their current set up? I think they look good! Image

the old ones look good and will hold up with age. The new M overall is just stunning with the new wheels. If i had to choose one it would be the updated wheels. Im a sucker for multi spokes :D

I think they look good, but not sporty. The biggest thing I don't like about the new ones is the 3.7/5.6 on the fender, looks out of place.

They are nice, more classy then sporty in my opinion. Also I think they hide too much of the big caliper, which adds a lot of "sport" cred to the "S" models.

I prefer the old style. The new style looks too much like the standard 18' wheels.

Aren't those wheels exclusive to the Q70 Premium Select? That model has black chrome trim all over in place of the normal chrome.

I walked out of my office a few minutes ago and found a rental car with very familiar looking wheels. :chuckle: Camry SE.

Why are you freaking out about the Premium Select? Lol, just kidding. They are very nice, I would like to add a set of those wheels to my car with some spacers. Welcome to the "Club" btw...

Thanks altered! Yeah the only reason I know is they had one in the showroom at my local infiniti..brought my girl up to see it but it was gone already. Rims are nasty but I'm sure they would charge an arm and a leg...think I'm gonna put lexani css 15 black with machined tips ...look them up

I would guess these will cost approximately the same as the Sport wheels being they are manufactured similarly and the same size. The Lexani set will most likely be cheaper and give your car the sinister look, sounds good to me as long as that's what you're after.
