Infiniti is the only company that offers 19's from the factory. Can't blame people for wanting bigger OEM wheels. Lexus needs to offer 19's on their cars.

They will. From my understanding the GS 450h/GS 460 will have a 19" sportpack option, coupled with the AAAS (active handling sway bars)

These will be the first factory 19s from Lexus. Made by (cough cough) BBS

hahaha...seize that looks like a g35. the silver is like that g35 silver haha...i guess u could fool some1 pretty good. haha...

personally...my favorite stock wheels right now are the audi rs4 rims. i almost got replica's for my rx at 20"'s, but I had to buy adaptors from some guy in cali, and im in florida, so i said screw it. but I had checked an audi forum and the guy had them on overstock for 150 a wheel free shipping. it was a while ago, and i've gotten over the pass up i made haha.

Not sure I understand why OEM Infinity wheels are worse then after-market wheels. Put what you want on your car.

I think those G35 coupe wheels look better then most after-market wheels I've seen on the GS . In fact they look better then most of the Lexus OEM wheels as well. Wish I had seen those pics before I went with the 17" OEM 5 spokes.

Some Infiniti wheels are made by Rays Engineering so they're pretty much OEM aftermarket wheels.

What happend to BMW? Mercedes? AUDI? And so many other makers?

BMW offered 19's on thier 745 since 2002. Mercedes offers 20' with thier AMG currently.

Actually, Lexus already sells 19's on the LS460.

That's because MANY members on here put on UGLY *** wheels on their cars (simlly because it is 19 or 20"). And on top of that, they list it as a "mod". It's more of a downgrade if you ask me...

I used to have some "dubs" on my car, but it just looks stupid. The car didn't flow well with the wheels, and I'm glad I now have the G35 wheels.

exactly the reason why i got my G35 coupe wheels...
the previous owner put some hideous ricer-iffic konigs on them and I wanted something to clear BBK in the future.

the only problem with the G35 wheels is unsprung weight IMO. Besides that, I love it.

I think both pics with the Infinity wheels look real good, especially the silver one, I mean the black one, I mean the silver, no the black. They both look good, nice and clean.
