4 x 18x8 Advanti Emotion Alloy Wheels
4 x Plastic Tire Bags
4 x Mount, Balance and Install

Definitely recommend Allen for the winter sets. I got mine from him as well. I have the Hankook Icebear W300s (235-50-18 all around) and the R8 replica wheels.

Here are some photos of the winter set on my car: https://www.myg37.com/forums/picture...ter-shoes.html

I guess the W300 are not available anymore, otherwise Allen would have recommended those instead. He should have the R8 replicas though if you like them (buy they cost more than the Advanti Emotions)!

Good luck!

That's pretty well what I was thinking when he showed them to me. They definitely look nicer than the stock 18" Sport wheels (Infiniti should really be a little bit ashamed of a few of their wheel offering...especially the newest Sport wheels).

Since creating this thread I have changed my mind because a local shop, which I used in the past, has matched the price of the Toronto tire/wheel shops.
The wheels they offered aren't quite as nice looking as the Advanti's in the fist post but I think they are still nice enough for a winter wheel.

This is the deal I decided to go with. The shop is a 15 minute drive from my home so now I don't have to drive a 3hr round trip to Toronto and pay the same price

You're 6km from where I live. My plate # ends in 018 and has lightly smoked plate covers.
I had LM25 performance winter tires for my previous G (AWD) but decided to go with a standard winter tire for more traction this time around. If I don't like them they will be for sale in a year.

How have the iPike been for you? What type of winter driving conditions do you typically face, day to day?

I have never owned ipike before, but my fd who drives a G35 coupe is equipped with it. It is excellent and not much problem with it. I think I face the same driving condition as u. I believe ipike shouldnt be a problem at all.
