I’m thinking of switching my standard 17” wheels into the larger 19” wheels. Would like to keep things oem for now. I’d like help deciding/ranking the q50 factory rim designs over the years.

Photos are labeled “A” to “E” (bottom left corner) for quick reference (last image is my current q50).

Any other details I should know about doing this switch (e.g. impact on ride quality, performance, best place to buy, etc.) would be welcomed. I’m think of selling my current set of 17” to offset cost.

Had it for about a week now. $13k, 100k miles (flat) but everything in the car is in immaculate shape (clean carfax, no mods, full service history exclusively at Infiniti dealers, seats & dash show no cracks, engine very smooth and bay clean, etc). Felt like this is one of the cleanest q50. Thoughts?

One thing about the color is called graphite. So it’s supposed to be gray, but I’ve noticed that in certain lighting, it looks green-ish or blue-ish. Is this normal or is there a fading issue? How can I mitigate if so? Most evident in the rear bumper. The windows have a green-ish tint, so maybe that’s what’s contributing to it (?).

As far as mods go, I’d probably make a separate post. For now, minor stuff. I’m getting a better window tint and rear oem spoiler. I’m torn between getting either of the 19” oem wheels from the q50 sport or the keeping current wheels (they’re like brand new, but the rims are so small). Also, should I do chrome delete?

Powertrain-related, I’ve always had the 370z Nismo engine spec in the back of my mind (e.g. 350hp vs current 328 hp). Felt like it’d be a minor and (oem/proven) tune. Anyway, like I said, I’d make a separate post about all that, but yeah mostly I’d like to keep it stock.

First true RWD-based sport sedan (came from 2.0T Accord, had a Model 3 SR for a little bit) and technically first JDM, so pretty excited.

Premium Trim (so I believe that’s the base model). 100k miles, 1-owner, clean title and no mods. Dealer is asking $15k for it, not including tax and fees. Northeast state.

My gut tells me it’s a bit overpriced (especially given the base trim) , but from what I’ve seen, it also looks like a cleaner q50 than usual (no accidents, unmodified).

Would really appreciate second opinions. Thanks!
