why are volks stupid.....

they are light weight, good strong structure, and they look legit. Not saying u have to buy them. But dont call them stupid b/c you cant afford them.

definitely odd tire choice, but the wheel and color look good. I've always been a fan of black wheels on white cars.

so what is the actual sidewall height on the front and back, since isnt the listed height on the tire a ratio of the tire width? perhaps due to the wider rear the sidewall hieghts are equal?

I don't know about VERY tastefully modded. It's pretty much stock?

Those wheels look too small on that car, and I don't think the airducts are supposed to be setup like that to be "functional" lol.

if you don't want to pay for nice wheels than leave the stock ones because IMO stock looks much better

This makes no sense what so ever. How does stock look better when Rota's are almost an exact replica of the real deal? Then I guess stock looks better then Nismo LMGT4's, Volk TE37's, Volk CE28's, Work CR KAI's, and etc? Not saying Rota is the same quality as the real deal, but they replicate the real wheels pretty well?

Those wheels IMHO look best used on a Z or 240sx.. The lines on the new 370z require a more rigid or chiseled look something like the new advan rs wheels... The smooth look on a 19" wheel just doesn't fill out the wheel well.

wheels on 370 that look correct imo are:
advan rs
work vsxx
etc.. and maybe with a staggered 19 and 20 " setup

But you'd pay extra for a dressed up Chevy Tahoe (Escalade)?

Won had a short 285/30/19 tire on his OEM wheels when he came in. I did suggest a properly sized 275/35/19 (OEM) or slightly wider/taller 285/35/19 tire for his future tire purchase

While it does appear mostly stock in pictures, you really have to hear it in person I should have the video up soon of his car pulling away from the shop. As far as mods, he has nearly every bolt on modification you can do to a NA car. His mods range from full headers, midpipes, Invidia catack, pulleys, Stance coilovers, etc..
