The M Sport wheels are amazing, but the new 18s aren't bad either. With how in demand the 19s are, I may just go for a set of the 18s for my G35x. Alas, I'll have to wait until early next year before I'll be able to find a set.

Those are not the same 19" M sport rims are they there seems to be a slight difference in the double spoke design where the spoke meets the round of the rim is different. I think the new M will look great in real life I guess the factory body kit is no longer an option with the sport having molded body creases here and there... Not bad but I think the 06, 07 M Sports are still just as hott.

Hey you are right. I didn't notice that before, the rims are a bit different as you say. Good eye .Still look great though.

The spokes are flared where they meet the rim of the wheel. No one is saying that the aero kit is no longer being offered for sure. My guess is that it will still be an option on the 08s as I've seen a handful of Ms equipped with them on the road and hence, there's no reason why Infiniti should discontinue the parts. The pieces actually do a lot to accentuate the looks of the car. Especially the lip spoiler and the rear valance.

I may lean toward an M or a Coupe for my next car, that car has been growing on me, probably not a 45 though.

Yeah, I thought they looked a little different but I also thought that I just didn't know the wheels well enough. Unfortunately, from this shot, I don't think the 08s look as good as the earlier wheels.

Unfortunately, for '08 the M will soldier on without the HR or the 37 engine.

Yeah, I couldn't tell if those were the new Sport wheels or not. But sounds like they are. Standing still, I like the previous year's 19's as well. Those were some of the nicest OEM wheels I've ever seen! These are so-so....but we have to see them while the car is in motion. Those flares may make the wheels look real nice when the car's moving...

In 20 years, I'll be driving the "then OLD" GTR! LOL!

I'll pick one up for 30K with 200K miles! I'll still be happy! LOL




Maybe not.

Does the new white still have the 3 stage paint with the pearl or is it a solid white like BMW, Benz, and Audi have?
