Why does this car look like a scaled down toy?

Sorry, I hate using flash. So, I opened aperature to F1.4 (ISO 800). Too much field od depth.

I don't like the 19's as much as the 18's... the rears don't look as deep and shapely... Im sure 19" hurts acceleration too.

Thinking of getting 19" Volk Progressiv Spoke. The 19" wheels definetely look better than 18" (But not for performance, if you race, install 17" wheels. Tires are cheaper too).

I don't trust cast wheels in 19" size. Not much air between tire and wheel. Forged mono-blocks can take on little more road hazards. Personally, I like Weld EVO wheels (I have Velocity 6 on my 03 Tundra) but I can't seem to find 350Z fitment.

Those 19's are so nice. I can't believe they're available now.

Those are clean-looking pictures with a nice shallow dept of field. Canon SLR with a prime lens?

I weren't really set up to take good photos that day. So I just maxed out aperature, set ISO to 800, freehand photography. I am looking forward to take some awesome photos with proper outdoor gear and intresting background when my new Z arrives. Lights, tripods etc... Already thinking of creative lighting with ZR wind deflector. I want to light up etched "Z" glass using blue LEDs.

Nice pics. It would be nice if they had a front lip for the new bumper, though.

I'm split on 18s vs 19s with regard to the LMGT4s. The 19s make even the brembo rotors look so puny...and in these pics they lack the deep curve of the 18. Interesting that the car is shod with BFG tires and not RE040s.
