Opinion on XXR 518 Wheels - Black Wheels

I'm a soon to be owner of a Liquid Platinum 2010 G37XS Sedan. The one thing I'm not crazy about are the wheels on the Sport Sedan, so I'm already considering a switch. I came across these XXR wheels and tried searching for some pics of them on a G37, but have had no luck - has anyone seen these on a G37? If so, some pics would be great.

I'm considering the flat black or polished black wheels...but not sure if they'd suit the sedan (too tuner-ish?) They kind of remind me of the previous generation TL Type-S wheels, which I was a fan of. I'm thinking black wheels would compliment my soon to be tinted windows nicely

Any pictures of other black wheel options would be fantastic. Let me know what you guys think...thanks!

I personally dont think they'd look right on a G, much less a sedan.

But hey if you want them, go for it

not bad but then again your sedan needs too look aggressive to pull it off...like a mean drop and wide stance, and blacked out everything..

I used to have the 20" 502's on my coupe. Seen in person the 006 and the 521's on coupes too and they all looked good. Not sure about the fitment on the 518's though.

I think polished black would look good on your LP sedan.

After looking through tons of pics on here, I've learned a few things...not a lot of sedans out there with aftermarket wheels (at least not pictured), and I love the OEM 19" wheels...too bad they don't come as an option on the X sedan.

I came across Finish Line Wheels and they offer the OEM 19" wheels in 8.5" or 9" for a reasonable price, so now I'm leaning in that direction - lower risk option, since I know they'll look good. Now the questions I need to get answered are:

1) Color: leave them stock or get them powder coated Matte Black or Glossy Black
2) Wheel Size: What would be the smarter choice in wheel size for the x - 8.5" or 9"
3) Tire Size: Optimal tire width - 245 all around?
