Watch Your Wheels!

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 spokes on the 18" wheels are flush with the exterior of the rim and not concave like most wheels. The narrow tires hardly exceed the rims and lend very little protection from curbs. So STAY AWAY FROM THE CURBS!

I haven't hit one yet but after parking and looking down at how close I was it scared me. I think the solution might be wider tires.

You're right, this picture shows the rim seems sticking out...http://i190.photobucket.com/al...4.jpg

Well, maybe that's why they offer the Around View Monitor option.

I'm talking about the 18". I don't know if the 17"s are the same.
