2013 Nissan 370Z Debuts With Minor Changes, Ugly Wheels

We just got our first look at the 2013 Nissan 370Z, set to be unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on Wednesday. The changes are brief but good god, what did they do to those wheels?

Nissan lists the 2013 changes as

  • Refreshed front fascia with vertical LED daytime running lights
  • Revised 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels (Sport Package equipped models)
  • New 18-inch wheels for 370Z Coupe
  • Red-finished brake calipers (Sport Package equipped models)
  • Dark-finish fuel gauge trim
  • Euro-tuned shock absorbers (Sport Package equipped models)
  • And two new exterior colours – Magma Red and Midnight Blue
Hopefully the car is just as good to drive as the previous Z cars, but if I ever bought one, I’d have a nice shipment from TireRack waiting at home, and a buyer lined up for those tacky ninja-star-esque 18s.

    Put the wheels on the QX. They will totally fit the styling, then.

    I own a 2010 370z convertible with the sport package and the wheels are awesome. These are ugly as sin. Car still looks nice though. However, I'm a rag top car guy, so the coupe doesn't do it for me.

  • EBFlex The way things look in the next 5-10 years no. There are no breakthroughs in battery technology coming, the charging infrastructure is essentially nonexistent, and the price of entry is still way too high.As soon as an EV can meet the bar set by ICE in range, refueling times, and price it will take off.
  • Jalop1991 Way to bury the lead. "Toyota to offer two EVs in the states"!
  • Jalop1991 I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
  • Jalop1991 We need a game of track/lease/used/new.
  • Ravenuer This....by far, my most favorite Cadillac, ever.
