1) I'm near the end of a parking lot at a local grocery store, on a Wednesday night at 8:30. I did not see the lot filling up any time soon. Plus I'm parked within the lines anyway, and I felt having the car at a bit of an angle relative to the lines made it a more interesting photo.
2) I didn't ditch the stock BBS wheels. They will be used as my dedicated winter setup. I wanted something more aggressive looking and in gloss white and these Rota DPT fit the bill, without breaking the bank. This is my DD and I do not take care of it on the same level that I do the 350z, so I do not want to worry about $3k wheels on this thing.

i really just hate all these people and their 35k $ cars that take off nice factory wheels, for aftermarket look that arent as quality nor appealing as stock wheels. because they get another inch in width of wheel, assuming stock tire as it appears he didn't go up in diameter of wheel. so no real performance gain. just my iopinion. kinda like donks in reverse.

rota compound better than stock bbs? doubt it. not a wheel genius. or any genius. I even said sorry for hate, rofl. the diameter was more to the reference that it APPEARS he did not change the tires, thats all. it was not to reference performance.

You are correct that I didn't change diameter, but I did go with a wider wheel which required me to go with a wider tire. Again, it's for looks because I'm only putting down stage 2 power and the stock size 225/45 tires are more than capable of handling it.
Let me also say this: I didn't buy Rota wheels because I think they are great wheels. I bought them because I wanted something that looked good, with reasonable price tag, that I wouldn't feel bad abusing on my daily driver. I may have 3k to spend on wheels for the Z, which is a garage queen and I pamper, but I certainly cannot justify that kind of scratch for this car.
