What? that's the equivalent of a G37 non-sport model, those are the 18" non-sport rims...maybe I'm missing your point.

Why do the non-sport wheels look more sporty than the "sport" wheels??

I dont think so, I just wish it had the non-sport bumper.
Of course, rims styles interest different people. But the sport rims are 19's, not 18's.
