I love the updated wheels and LCs look great in any color.

That color doesn't look good with all-black wheels IMO. And the wheels don't really match the car either. The best ones for the car are the Inspiration IMO, but to each his own, of course.

Looks like a bespoke. Agree, those wheels does not look good here. But the USB is beautiful. Very similar to the BMW's Portimao Blue. Very deep. Silver wheels may have worked better here.

Same body colour with different wheels…





Always liked the 22” wheels (below) that were on the vehicle used to introduce the convertible…

That's more like it! I have these wheels on mine. Beautiful on any color I think.

I completely agree re: your comment about the black wheels...also, although I do like the white/blue interior, I'm not sure it's worth the extra $1900 and all the extra effort to keep it clean (I had a similar color in one of my earlier Infiniti G35's and had to replace the driver's seat leather 2x times due to discoloration from my blue jeans).

Well, since you cannot get that interior unless you opt for bespoke, it's more like 5 grand than 2. I've owned light leather interiors before, and if you keep them conditioned, they're much less of a problem. And any good leather conditioner leaves them like new with little effort. They're worth the little extra labor IMO. Having said that, I wouldn't pay 2 grand for it either, let alone 5. But I'd probably pay $2K for white/black on a white touring.

This is also a nice comparison of the light chrome accents vs. the dark chrome accents on the post above. I prefer the standard light chrome. I think the dark chrome accents only make sense if you get the matte black wheels. Personally I think I only like the dark chrome accent and black wheel combo with the gray exterior.
