I thought you might of had it. But, I checked up the convertible and they have different part numbers

Dealer could not figure it out either lol. They are ordering one, just so I can see it.

D0300-JL04B has been replaced by part number D0300-1NG4D. Infiniti believes the difference is Enkei name and logo on the lip now has a bigger font.

Whichever wheels you get, I would get two sets of rears

Ah, that could be it. I do recall that difference, but didn't figure it had a different part number.

The dealer received the D0300-1NG8D for me to see what it is in person.

The D0300-1NG8D is the regular silver sparkle paint color. The color you see on a lot of the oem wheels. The Enkei name and their logo is smaller on the lip

The D0300-1NG4D (formerly D0300-JL04B) has a nice upscale gray/graphite color finish to it with a larger font Enkei name and logo on the lip.

I went with the D0300-1NG4D. I think it will look great on my Graphite Shawdow 2013 G37xs

the coupe 18's are not a good look, of course IMO. while none of the choices are outstanding, the coupe 18's are the most plain and unremarkable. either the duckfeet 18's or split spoke 18's are the way to go if you have to choose between those.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I think these wheels really enhance the look of the car. Keeps it classy but adds the sportiness that I was looking for. Perfect combo, and the finish of these wheels have a nice graphite/titanium look to them which matches my paint color pretty well.

Another neat thing is these Enkei wheels are made in Japan. When I was looking at aftermarket Enkei wheels, most of them were actually made in China or Taiwan. Only their high-end/high cost racing series wheels seemed to be made in Japan. I looked at the boxes that these OEM Enkei wheels came in and it says Made in Japan right on the box.
