I know they're different, but the way the spokes come off the hub is very similar.
Yeah, they are quite similiar indeed. What a copycat Porsche!

Here's another from the back....
It's based on a boxster with 911 type performance

Yes, the wheels have a similiarity for sure.

Gotta like that Cayman. $92k (C) though.

Unfortunately they look like the rims off the following also which is why I'm not in favor of the sport rims:

1. 2001 Ford Focus ZTS
2. 1998 Subaru Legacy

Much better to copy: 3. 2000 BMW M5

This is a popular rim design nonetheless. I wonder how the 2006 18" sport rims or even the 2006 19" sport coupe rims would look on the new G.

I'm hoping the 05/06 18" Sport rims will look good on the 07 G35X .

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a G35S? I noticed on the second picture it has a "S" on it?

S=Sport.
No different than before, they just stuck a red S on the trunk.

I'm hoping that the '07's do not look like they have a "lift-kit" like it does now - especially w/the 17" rims.

JMO, but I'm not a fan of the Lex styling.....
I think the G is *much* nicer.

It flows better w/o the edgyness of the Lex.
