I love my p45's and the way they look on my Z, but to be honest they don't seem to fit that 370z very well. If all he wanted was black wheels he should've just powdercoated the stock 370 wheels and maybe put some spacers and call it a day.

Looks good, but can use something to set the look off. As for the air ducts, function over form. What was the dyno figures with the bumper off versus covered, 10+ Hp's at the wheels with only a fan. No brainer in my book. And c'mon guys, some of you guys have $3500-$4500 wheels on your $10,000 cars (current value). Tell me who's really missing the point priority wise. I can't tell you how many people I've heard of hiding their new cars and expensive wheels from being repo'ed.

Wheels look great.

Those 285/30's look horrible IMO, too skinny of a sidewall in the rear it looks off.

I understand you may sell Rotas and Im not getting into my opinion of them. But for you to make statements like that towards a set of GOOD, QUALITY, usually lightweight wheels, it makes you look bad.

When somebody calls your shop to spend $$$$ on anything over $3-4K do you tell them not to because YOU wouldnt?

To each their own

the wheels themselves look great with the car but the small sidewall on the rears kills the appearance. : (

though understandably, if I had a good set of rear tires with plenty of tread life left I might reuse them too.

Is it me or does it look like he could easily fit 295/35's or 305-30(35's) on this?

I had suggested that he look at a 285/35/19 tire when he is getting new tires. This size will be a closer match to the OEM diameter and will still fit well.

looks good, will look better when the thicker tires go on the back. People always have negative **** to say, just brush it off. If you like it thats all that matters.

I just dont understand why you couldnt just powdercoat the stock wheels flat black and save your money, instead of buying such plain looking wheels on such an ostentatious car...

Also, IMHO the ducts make the bumper have a hitler mustache...
