Late with a reply... Just logged back on as my wife is thinking of upgrade her CT F Sport to the NX F Sport (or and RDX) and naturally I was drawn to this thread. These are the BBS SV Wheels. Below is a lighter picture of them on my X5M for reference (shameless plug)
i love the BBS on an X5M yours looks great. I had 22" HREs on my X5M but the BBS are an OEM+ look, i wish they made 22" for the NX.
Been thinking about picking up some new wheels in 19-inch for my NX non-F sport. Mainly wanted to get a wider tire in 245's to help with braking.
Browsing through TireRack, didn't see too much choices in 19's. What do you guys think about Enkei Raijin? Does it look too sporty? Will it ruin the oem lines?

After looking through tirerack and carid, I started looking through ebay and amazon. Those enkei look nice, but I see it more for the RC or IS rather than the NX. But thats me. lol But I say keep looking through ebay and amazon. They have a bunch of rims too and you can finally find "The One". It took me about 3 weeks of looking through each day to find mine.
Just wanna know your opinions, which one of these wheels look better on Non-Fsport Nebula Gray?
Wheel size will be 19x8.5 +40, will they stick out too much to the fender? I want them to be under the fender by at least 15mm. Planning to put 245/50/R19 tires, will they look too stretched on 8.5" wheels?
The second ones look darker and I think that would look sharp on a Nebula Gray NX. However, I personally like the first pattern better as it feels slightly classier to me. The darker rims seem perhaps sportier? I think either would look good.

No #1: With that width and offset, outside face will be 0.3" closer to the fender. Will be 0.7" closer to suspension on the inside.
EDIT: That is just the rim. If the tires are fatter, it will also add a little width.
No #2: Those tires generally fit a max width of 10".
Thanks guys! The first wheel will look slightly darker in real world, here' s a pic in real world. TSW calls it hyper silver, a slightly darker shade of silver.
@d8168055 - did you mean the wheel will be 0.3" closer to the fender comparing to OEM 18" wheels (18x7.5 +35)? Suspension-wise, 0.7" closer, will I have to worry about clearance?
