That's what I thought Kevin, it looks really nice on the IP sedan, and the wheel gap doesn't look bad.
Here is the same car after he put on the coupe 19"ers

I like the look of the 20's better then the 19" coupe rims. Maybe its missing a drop but the coupe rims, which usually look really good to me, just look so normal and blah to me in that pic.

I agree, the coupe wheels look good too, but with a drop, I will probably be getting some staggered BBS LM-GT's, Ive always loved those wheels but have never owned a RWD car long enough to buy a set of wheels.



Or some HRE's



I will not be buying some cheapo wheels for this car, ive always loved mesh wheels, they always look great especially on my old car

I'd get 20's, 19's are a little too small for the new g, it's got a bigger body, so it deserves some bigger rims.

Get 20's and a mild drop, those coupe 19's look too small.

Those FX wheels look sweet on the G, very clean!

What is a good width and offset for 19" rims on the sedan?

That front wheel gap is huge! Looks like I can get like 4 fingers in there!

As for the rims, that center cap looks awful...doesn't even match the rim color.

It's so weird b/c the 19s from the G35 coupe look so awkward and kinda small on the new sedan. I loved them on the coupes, but no so much on the new G. The FX35 wheels look huge on that car. I think if it were chrome, it'd make it look pretty clean. BTW, I liked the first of the two wheels you chose from Ebay. They almost look like the OEM BMW Style 42 wheels from my 328i. Almost.

Those FX wheels are terrible. The spokes are too big and why didn't the guy put the infiniti center caps on 20" are the way to go with the new G but I wouldn't use those as a good example of how 20" look. The wheel gap will be more noticable with 19 or 20' so a drop is a must regardless...
