If you're talking about the OEM 17s, then I'm with you. Not only do they look small, but the design itself is very unattractive and bland to me. IMO this should not be an issue for a $35K+ "upscale" model

Personally, if I had a non-sport, I'd be frustrated that Maximas, Altimas, Accords, etc all come with nicer looking wheels (subjective, but I'm sure most would agree). If you are willing to put up the funds, then I'd suggest searching for some sport OEM wheels, (i.e. the sport 18s from the sedan can be had for pretty cheap)

Just keep looking around for coupe 19" wheels, they look much nicer than any of the sedan wheels, and if you live where it snows a lot just save your stock wheels for a winter tire set. Agreed about the sedan wheels, even the 18" sport wheels aren't that great looking. The split spoke 18" sport wheels that came out in 07 are the best looking sedan wheels IMO.

The Spiderman Sport wheels have actually grown on me. I agree that the split spoke 18" sport wheels that came out in 07 are the best looking sedan wheels. Unfortunately, I don't think these will clear the 14 inch rotors and massive calipers on the Sport model.

I think the 17 inch wheels on the Journeys (non-sport) make the car look pedestrian and much cheaper. Not sure why they put those wheels in the car. They really should have just standardized on the wheels from the Performance Tire and Wheel package. For about $500-600, that's the best option you can add to the non sport model.

I don't mind the OEM 17" wheels at all. Sure, they are not as blingy as the 19" and 20" wheels on other sports cars... but I didn't get the G37 for the bling factor.

17 inch wheels in general look pretty chitty unless it's a track or miata type car.

Personally, I think 18's should've been the minimum size for the stock wheels. The 17's just looks kind of.. off. Although, 17's on a NC Miata is at home though
