I'm with you not feeling those on the base, the base rims just keep getting uglier and uglier. Nissan/Infiniti use to have some pretty sharp OEM rims, not so much now for the most part.

Actually the roadster wheels are quite nice once they are all clean and polished up. The base rims for the 09-12, I didn't quite like.

I tried to like them but I just feel them on the Z not aggressive looking enough, they look like something that should be on a Sentra. The base rims from the 06-08 would be a perfect match!

It looks...softer. I dunno, maybe it has to grow on me. I really like the wheels on the Nismo though.

It's almost July now....does anyone have any idea when the 2013's will hit the dealerships? I'm not sure if I should wait or buy the 2012 now?

The only thing they really responded well on is giving people options to have the Red Brake Calipers...yay! Come on' at least an increase of power or something. I believe even the new Hyundai Genesis Coupe will have an Increase in power, possibly more than the 370z. All I'm saying is keep the 370z competitive like the GT-R. Otherwise, the Z is just gonna end up on the bottom of the list next to the Mazda RX-8.
ouch that hurt im coming from a Mazda RX-8 lol

I think I'm in the minority here when I say I really like the new front fascia and wheels of the '13. The front end looks less thrown together than the 9-12. And of course the new colours are amazing! That said, I'm still quite happy with my fangy front.

Also, do people us the terms "zenki" "chuki" and "kouki" to designate minor revisions on the same chassis as people do with AE86s and S chassis?
