Question Anyone expecting rim changes?

Just wondering what everyone thinks the chances are of Nissan introducing any new rim designs for 2005. I know that the anniversery edition is offering new rims which look to be 19s. I was just curious because I'm wondering what some of the minor changes may be for '05, however part of me is thinking that there may not be any rim style changes because they don't want to take away from sales of the anniversery edition. Just wondering what everyone else thought.

I think they should make the Perf/Touring 18s an option for every model, even the 5ATs

At first I didn't care much for the Z 17 in rims. But now after having them I don't think they look bad at all.

Since Infiniti is putting 19s on the G Sport (8" front and 8.5" rear). You have to except 19s on the"Z".

They should ditch the current 17inch rims for a new better design, the current design just doesnt look good. They probably will keep the 18 inchers and do something minor to them like the did with the Maxima rims from 01 to 02.

Here are one set of new wheels, 19s, I think. Maybe they will ditch the 17s altogether.

Yeah, I hear those are supposedly the new 19 inchers. Forum members here like to refer to them as "RX8" wheels!

Remember that Nissan already introduced those new five spoke wheels for the 2004.5 models too!

Yeah, I'm really hoping they drop the 17s. I'm ordering an 05 enthusiast very soon but I dont really like the 17s. Aftermarket is always an option, and a very likely one, but not at first.
