09-12 owners. If you didn't buy aftermarket wheels for your base? You have no dignity or self respect.

You aint kidd'n, but those 13+ base wheels aren't all that either

, and it looks not so good without the rear spoiler. S/P or nada.

Hahahaha. Just kiddin'. That was harsh, BUT... 09-12 base wheels make a nice upscale looking sports car look kinda cheap. Even my wife was completely against the base and she's not into sports cars like I am.

I don't think they are bad for stock wheels (from a looks perspective), but then again my expectations aren't particularly high.

Unfortunately, they're heavy and narrow...

It also blows my mind how much Nissan ripped off Porsche with the rim design:

The VLSD is what's worth it on the sports package. I got it off of a member here and plan on replacing the gears with 4.08. As far as the wheels, the only ones I like are the 13' base wheels (the then 12' roadster wheels). The sport wheels are not appealing in the slightest meaning of the worth 'appeal' to me. The base 09-12 wheels look better imho.

For some, sports package doesn't make it or break it for them. It's kinda personal preference. I'm the kind of person that anything I buy that has a choice of 2 options where 1 is more expensive, but improves the product slightly, I HAVE to have it or else I won't be happy. That being said, sports package all the way
