Default Thoughts on 2017 NX 18" wheels?

Hey guys.I wanted to get your opinions on the new 18" wheels for the 2017 NX. It looks like they switched up the design this year. Any thoughts? I liked them initially but like the finish better on the 2016's.

i like my OEM summer tire set up better. These seem bland.

In Canada, we have these wheels on the top-line Executive model since 2015. Personally, I like these better than the others.

Here are a couple of real-world pics to help you decide as opposed to the photo-shopped image above.

The ones on our car are very nice but I do like the new ones better.

I like the contrast of the machined wheels. Straight on they don't look as cool as the superchome, but at an 3/4 view they have a muscular look and nice depth. They look really good on a slow roll too.

I definitely like the new 5-spoke ones better but I think they should make 19" standard instead of 18",

I think the 2017 ones are nicer. They look bigger than 18" and the 2016 ones look smaller.
