quick question about the performance wheel package

Hi all, quick question, you know how infiniti has the performance wheel and tire package? what kinna wheel do they come with?? the description says this...

Performance Tire and Wheel Package

- Split 7-spoke 18 x 7.5-inch (front), 18 x 8.5-inch (rear) lightweight aluminum-alloy wheels
- 225/50R18 (front), 245/45R18 (rear) W-rated summer performance tires


are those the ones that come with the sport model?? i hate my current X model wheel (on my journey)... IMO they look like flowers lol and they're only 17"... so please let me know! thankssss =) btw they only cost $400!!! thanks all!!!!

Yes, the "performance 18" wheels" are the same that come stock on the Sport.

I agree.. i've only seen a couple for that size.. i'm thinking of going 235/50 front and 255/45 rear in the future

To the OP, yes those are the sports wheels, don't like the 17" wheels on the journey as well...

Yeah... but who buys stock wheels from a dealer??

There are plenty of people who buy 20's for the car from whom you can buy their old wheels.

I'd like see what they look like from someone who's replaced the tires already.

What's interesting is that the stock front tires look like they're the right width on the rim, but the rears look too narrow.

Another option for the front would be a 225/45/18, but I don't want to go lower profile.

You should brag about that in your sig then!

You don't see too many "she's" in car forums.

I got a spankin' deal, four Sport wheels and tires (8 miles on them) for EDIT>>> Just found my receipt, forgot that I actually bought them for $1,100. That was after monitoring eBay for a long time, and watching the price drop on this set. Have seen a bunch for $1,500, they usually sell at <$1,350.

And don't ask why I needed a replacement...
