Lou is 100% correct on this (ie 17, 18, 19 all available on the autos).

For manuals its more tricky as they only come with 19"s. If you liked the 18"s better you'd have to negotiate with the dealer to do a swap for you as part of the purchase agreement.

 

there are quite a few posts with pics of the new coupe and 19" wheels. perhaps it's a bit redundant to take more pics: )

as far as how much will the new 19's go for on ebay, it's really hard to say since it is not available yet. but using the 18's when the coupes first came out as a reference point, i would say they would sell for $1500-2000 initially and very likely for less later on.

 

i totally agree that many of the pics are recycled from the previous year's manual, press release pics, and website pics. but there are also some nice new pictures like the large fold-out pic with a wide angle interior shot on one side and the entire side shot of the exterior on the other side--beautiful shots!!! and there are a few other small pics of the new equipment/interior changes.

 

OMG!

I am so glad i didnt go with the sport package.
Those are some of the UGLIEST wheels I have ever seen!

i think they look pretty nice. I just saw a truck of 05 g35 coupes around my area. The 19s look good in person imo. The new colors look awesome too

 

I just went to infiniti today to snap a pic of the 19. Looks 1000x better in person. Fits well, just doesn't have that classy appeal as the old 18"...o ya G's with no brembo's look ghey :P

I posted up some pictures of the 2005 coupe 19" wheels, see my post.

 

I was at the dealer picking up my car and saw two new 05 coupes, one IP and one DG. Although I like what they did with the stereo (look) and relocation of the clock, I am really not too sure about the wheels? It is great they are now forged, but I do not really like the way they look (IMO obviously)? The spokes seem to stick out when looking at the car at an angle? Like many things, I am sure they will grow a bit over time, but I think they could have done a better job picking an OE 19" wheel! Anyone else seen them in person and have an opinion..........maybe I am just crazy =)!

Yeah, I read it, that is what reminded me to post my thoughts!

at first I didn't really like them but they've grown on me after seeing some different angles, etc... I opted for what I could get ASAP so i ended up just getting them... I'm sure they won't be horrible but I still prefer the 18s.

What i'm most concerned about is the ride comfort and harshness... the 19" wheels aren't gonna be a nice ride, along with the sport tuned suspension... I wonder if I can tune it to a softer ride for comfort sake since i'm not gonna track the car at all for awhile...

but yea Infiniti could have gone with something like the new Z wheels... I wish these were on the coupe instead of the current 19s...

 

trust me man, your gonna like them better in person. Picture doesn't do those 19" justice. They look so good as if they were meant to be on a G. I remember looking at those 19" then suddenly turned way to look at the 18", and man..those 19" were so much more refreshing to look at. Honestly, those 19" aren't that bad if you have any sense of taste in your body. Of course there are better OEM rims out there, aka Bimmers. But hey, they will be good enough for me til I get some aftermarket ones.

those rims kinda of look like the ones I've seen on my neighbors rx8.

 

Those 19" look like another car I've seen. Here is a picture.
