Graphite & Wood or Wheat & Wood?

The wood is actually growing on me - I'm pretty sure I am going to get it. Now my question is - Graphite or Wheat leather. I think the wheat + wood looks more 'elegant' but the graphite + wood looks very 'sexy'

Thoughts from those who have seen either option in person? Since I'll be ordering, chances are slim I'll get to see it myself before taking the plunge.

Black Obsidian, Platinum Graphite, or Blue Slate.

Graphite leather is available on all three. Wheat is only available on the Black.

Well my personal preference would be graphite interior on all three of those exterior colors. I think the wheat interior would look better on Serengeti Sand, Lakeshore Slate and possibly Garnet Ember. That's just my preference though.

If you choose Black obsidian, I'd go with stone & aluminum to give that two tone look. I guess that wasn't a choice though. WIth Black Obsidian, go with graphite & wood. I'd also go with graphite and wood with Platinum Graphite. I think you can do both graphite or wheat with blue slate. Hard to choose, I know.

graphite & wood looks hot, even though I'm biased and went with Graphite & Aluminum.

I definitely like how nicely the wood darkened up the interior, it looks quite good.

I went with Alum trim though

I maybe wrong but the wheat does not come with a black dash. The wheat has a match beige cream look that makes it look really cheap. U're better off getting black for looks and also not worry about a pen scratch/stain, etc.

Could be - I got these photos off Infiniti's website.

I'm not a big fan of wood trimmings.

I wouldn't do wood unless is was very dark with graphite or black carbon
fiber with graphite interior.

If you have not seen these in person, I would strongly reccommend taking a look. I was dead set on wood with wheat by looking at the pics. Now that I have sat in both and just saoked up the looks, I am leaning towards stone with alum. trim...I think the wood is a little flat looking, which is OK, however, to me, the center console piece of wood looks a bit overdone or misplaced (a combo here of washi + wood might have been perfect). It needs something that I can not put my finger on. I also am not a huge fan of the tan steering wheel or brown dash. I think the contrast of the black to grey on the stone with the washi might be the most sporty look for this car...Of course, I will probably chance my mind on this tomorrow! ha

Graphite. I had a car with bright interior once. That was the first and last time. Gets dirty and looks like crap after a year.
