OEM Wheel choice, what do you recommend...

Hey guys, I picked up 2 sets of 18" OEM wheels for my 2008 G35x, both are non-staggered setups, both are stock, and both are equally as nice, to me. I may or may not sell the stock 17"s, still debating if I should keep them as a winter setup. Anyway, the one set is off a 2007 G35 Sport sedan, shows some signs of wear (curb rash), and the other of a G37, with just 1 wheel showing signs of wear only. I'm not planning any suspension mods, no time soon at least, and I have a new set of 225/50-18 ready to mount with a TPMS rebuild kit.

Which ones would you recommend for me to keep? What would look better on the sedan? I'm going to the dealer on Wednesday for the install. Yes, I know, THE dealer....

For some reason I just don't like those split 5 spokes, first choice looks better imo.

Very interesting! You guys would still lean towards the G35 sport wheels, all with moderate curb rash, over the almost-new split spokes? How much of a pain in the *** is it to get them refinished otherwise?

If I had to choose b/w the 2, I'd go with the slit 5 spoke coupe 18's personally. They will have slight better fitment than the sedan 18's too.

I don't know why more people don't go with the coupe 18's. I think they would look good on a G35. I don't think I've seen any pics with them on. THe sport 18's are only OK.

I mean the 3rd/4th picture in the original post.

From afar, they look similar to the M35/45 sport wheels, except they are 18" instead of 19". I think the G37 coupe 18s are much better looking that the stock 17" G wheels and a little better than the 18" sport wheels.

I agree with you Carl. I purchased a set of the coupe split 5 spoke 18's for my sedan b/c I thought they would look decent on the sedans. Too bad I just never got around to actually using them. I just sold them to a local guy cuz they were just sitting around for too long.

OP, I say you get the coupe 18's and slap em on. They'll look much better than the sedan sport wheels IMO.
