Chrome coupe wheels


Does anybody know the name of these or what car/trim they are from from? Saw these at the 2015 D.C auto show. A good place to get them? Thanks

I believe they are the OEM factory option bright chrome wheels. Have to go through Infiniti.

i wouldn't recommend those.

if you don't keep after them, that chrome will look like hell in a short time.

those wheels are a PITA enough already keeping clean just painted. i would consider a murder spree if i had to scrub them with chrome polish regularly.

i you are retired or have no job and nothing better to do, though, go for it!

Agreed, its like playing a 1000 piece puzzle, unless you're in jail, there's always something better to do.

Dayam that's funny!
Yeppers I have the painted 19"sport wheels. I'd rather spend the day flossing pig teeth than clean these.
So I dipped them with smoke, and called it done.

looks good - pics on car? i was thinking these in a graphite/gunmetal color would look good on my black coupe.

i've found that cleaning them up real good and using Hyd02 spray sealer makes them easier to deal with. the brake dust funk tends to not stick, and a good hose blast cleans them up pretty good.

new wheels on the way - these will be given snow tire duty.

I'll have to try that Hydr02 sometime. Sounds interesting.

well thanks guys. You dashed my hopes and dreams about getting these wheels. They do look sweet in person though when they all shiny and what not. I was just getting tired of my IPL wheels and wanted to switch up. They just ok to me but every one else seems to like them.

looks good! i hate black wheels, unless maybe they have a polished lip. silver wheels on a black car stick out too much. gunmetal/graphite on black car is perfect, IMO.

i just saved you a ton of grief. unless you dry them every time they get wet, they will start pitting. i had simple, easy-to-clean chrome 5-spoke turbo twists on my 928, and i grew to hate them. i can't even imagine dealing with that multi-spoke sport wheel mess.
chrome - never again. same with polished aluminum!

pardon the 1999 digital camera photo ...

I must be blind cause I'm just not seeing it. I clicked my name and that takes me to a page where it shows me what y'all see and I can change stuff but I don't see what you are talking about. I looked all over. I'm lost.

See the second blue line running across the page? It has links for "USER CP", "FAQ", "Community" and more.

Click the User CP link, it stands for user command post.
