Nothing beats the OEM 20" mags on the FX...I personally find our current 18" OEM to be not bad since it is my wife's daily driver and we find the ride to be quite stiff even borderline comfort.
I know it is not intended to be a Lexus, and love the sporty ride but with Montreal's terrible roads it becomes a hassle and annoying so going 20" the ride would not be softer that would be for sure.

I have been searching for the FX 20" OEM rims for months, locally very few options and darn expensive but I may just call it the day and keep my current 18" since I have another 18" OEM winter set up from our old EX35.

I came across this local listing for $1000 Can for a complete set of JX/QX 20" rims. The issue I see is the skinny 235 rubbers they would look so bad on the FX. So is it worth it with skinny 235 tire including tpms! the problem I see is that I'll have to purchase wider rubber 265?
Also I can always purchase good quality replicas...but I'd rather stay OEM

If you go to 20s you'll need 265/50. The ride will be better keeping the stock 18 set up, especially on those Canadian roads.

JMO, but I would never buy replicas.
 
Thank you! Replicas will always be replicas... and they sell for the same price as mint OEM's!
I will wait and see maybe I can snatch a set of OEM's on the sales section by next summer if not keep the 18" for "La Belle Province" Quebec LOL
 
OEM 20's come up on Kijiji quite often, check it out.
 
Yep! Will keep an eye shipping would be the biggest hurdle might consider driving for a pick up around Montreal, Toronto or even upper state Vermont, Boston...etc
Nothing beats OEM look and quality!
 
I always think this is the best looking wheels Infiniti has made for FXs...that s why II just bought an use set to be painted satin black for my winters. Plus they look very much like my summers GTR wheels. They are cheap too
