Put the G37's wheels on my Sedan

Picked up a set of G37S wheels yesterday.
I like the way it looks on the car, however i do feel a difference in acceleration between my 18s and the 19s.

I think it looks great, I've been trying to find a set of 18s to get, those are definitely on my short list.

look great, but not sure why you are feeling a difference in acceleration going from 18 to 19 OEM rims, they both are quite light for their size with not much difference, i too am looking to get some G37S rims for my winter setup.

Well maybe because the ones i got the back are 265/35/19? i honestly dont know but i do feel a difference. With 18's its feels more light and has a bigger "jerk" when you step on it vs the 19's.

^ that makes sense then, you are experiencing more traction thanks to the wider tires with smaller side walls, as opposed to the weight difference that i thought was the issue.

So this "change" in acceleration is good then!

yes more traction, also the wheels are 22lbs heaiver as a set means more sluggish.
I love the way it looks, but not sure i like the way it drives.
Ill keep it on a few months for the summer then well see.

You may feel a slight accel difference, but this setup is certainly better than stock in every way. The bigger wheel allows for better handling, and the wider tires provide much more traction. You'll get used to the new feel jus give it time.

Nice change up, but I still feel the S wheels are the perfect look for our G's.
