What? that's the equivalent of a G37 non-sport model, those are the 18" non-sport rims...maybe I'm missing your point.

Why do the non-sport wheels look more sporty than the "sport" wheels??

I dont think so, I just wish it had the non-sport bumper.
Of course, rims styles interest different people. But the sport rims are 19's, not 18's.

Looks to me that dummy would be dead with or without that new fancy "safety hood".
