Remember, my car already had the factory sports suspension so it didn't ride all that smooth to begin with. The ride and handling with these wheels is awesome! Definitely recommend it.

Dude...I can't help it man...those wheels are wrong for the car. I may be the only one of the 195 hits to your previous thread that's saying something. I'm not trying to be mean...but those TSW wheels look like SUV's wheels.

Sorry guy...just my honest opinion. But if you like them a lot....then heck what do you care what I think?

I do appreciate the feedback, good or bad. As we all learn in life, you can’t please everyone all the time and as individuals, we all have different opinions of what looks good and what does not. I do, however, find it kind of funny that you think they should be on an SUV. After all, they’re almost identical to the factory wheels Infiniti has put on the new M series SEDAN. I guess the designers at Infiniti Motor Corporation and I have different taste then you. Thanks for the feedback anyway. It’s good to know you’re not swayed by what other people think looks good.

How much more road noise do you notice with the 19s?

I have to say that the only thing the M45 wheels and the TSW have in common is the split spoke design. The M45 spokes stretch to the edge of the rim creating the illusion of a bigger diameter wheel and have nice elegant round edges. The TSW's have sharp square edges and the spokes are shorter.

I'm not knocking your taste, just stating the obvious. Listen, you asked for opinions and I'm just calling it like I see it. You and I have great cars, but different tastes in wheels.

Enjoy the ride.

lower it. i don't care what wheels you've got (they are pretty sweet), but that higher front end no longer looks good with 19's.
my 2 cents.

I just put on 19x8 inch rims with fuzion zri 235/35R19's. Bumps in the road are slightly more noticable. Did not notice any increase in road noise. I probably could have gone with the 245/35R19 but I am planning to lower the car and did not want to have clearance issues.

Looks good, real nice. I like the red brake calipers as well.
