Trivia Question: Where are my OEM Enkei wheels from?

Silly question, but I don't know the answer and there's a wealth of information on this forum.

I have a 2011 G37x that has 18" Enkei wheels on it. Where are these from? Were they swapped from another G37 trim level? Where they an OEM dealer upgrade (accessory)? I used to think I had the sport appearance package but I don't believe these are sport wheels and the car has the standard rear trunk finish in chrome. Searches here and on Google found the wheels, but I can't determine how they would have been acquired.

Thanks in advance!

-Eric

Those wheels are from a 07-08 G35Sport RWD Sedan

Also you don't have the sport appearance package. Your front bumper is a base model G37 bumper.

If you have a awd car, make sure tire size at all 4 corners are matching and not staggered.

Thanks for the information! I like the way they look on this car and they're in spectacular shape with new tires so hopefully not a concern with AWD.

Also appreciate the sport appearance information - tough to find original brochures or information showing the package.

The rear desk spoiler was an option on all models, Sport Package or otherwise.

Like qmantran said... non-sport front bumper. And non-sport side sills. And standard brakes. And non-sport headlight trim, although in truth that's almost impossible to identify. And AFAIK, you couldn't opt for the wood dash with the sport package, but don't quote me on that one. I know for a fact you couldn't on the 6MT, which was its own model: Journey, AWD, 6MT.

I have a 2011 G37 RWD Journey Sport-Package and have the "high-gloss maple" trim instead of the "shodo aluminum"

You quoted me, dammit!

So it was only the 6MT, then. GTK

Coming back with new information.

I continue to see examples of my wheels on 2011 G37s around the internet and one European site that reviewed a 2011 had my wheels.

While I don't disagree they were on older G35s, according to a listing here they were also available with the W01 Performance Tire and Wheel Package.

Thanks for all your assistance!

-Eric

Our 07 G35 had them and they were available in smaller numbers up until 2011 as a wheel upgrade pkg. I'm not certain if it was a regional option or just based on dealer inventory.
These were all vehicles that came stock w/ 17" base wheels.

Thanks!

I had a 2010 with 17s for a week before this car and expected significant difference in ride - 18s don't change the ride much.

Unfortunately I don't have the original window sticker to know they were an upgrade.
