05 Sedan with G37S/Q60 OEM 19"??

Has anyone seen or have an 05 rocking the G37S/Q60 Enkei OEM 19" rims? Either the normal ones or black chrome?

Been wondering how they look on an 05 but I can't find any...

I have. Initial impression was that they seemed big. I wasn't a huge fan.


I have seen the 18" G37 Enkie's though and liked those much better. Been looking for a set.

You know, that's kind of what I thought would happen. Trying to picture it and seeing it on a few G37s had me thinking it'd be kinda big. I do like the design though.

I like the design too, but when i first saw an 05-06 sedan with them in person, first impression was they looked big and chunky, kinda like the M35 rims on a sedan.

Bummer. I don't think the 18"s are a big enough difference (design-wise) from the stock 7 spokes for me to consider doing it.

They already kind of look big on the G37S itself lol.

Yep.

But now after seeing them on the car...they do still look nice...lol.

In my head I always thought it wouldn't be a huge diff just because it's mainly 10 spoke vs 7 spoke as opposed to the 19"s which kinda looked like turbines.

Damn. How much do the 18"s run these days? And is it just me or does the color of the rims on the DG look much better? The rims on the OB look lighter like a hyper silver whereas the ones on the DG look kinda more gray.

I think that's lighting. When my OE 7-spokes were new and clean, they could sometimes look like that depending on how the light hits it. Unsuer if those rims came in different finishes.

I also think having a car lowered makes a big difference as well. Stock ride height may not look as nice.


I'm partial to these wheels myself. If i get a G37x sedan next, these are what I want to run. A little cheaper, but not much. I think they look more aggressive. At least tires are cheaper than 19's.

Oh nice. Wait I'm confused lol, were the pics you posted earlier on the OB and DG sedans the 18's you were talking about? Or were you asking if those were the 19's I was talking about?

I was asking if those were the 19" wheels you were referring to.

The pic of the red sedan is the 18" wheels I like
