I'm going to kick off our spotlights' from the 2011 Japfest show with this pretty good looking 350Z which was on the Fast Car Magazine stand. The car is owned by Ben Hammond and is used as his daily driver. By his own admission the car is pretty simple (so far) but I think this is what the attraction is.
The exterior has been kept pretty much OEM except for a carbon fibre front lip and a debadged rear.
Inside is again, pretty much standard save for a *** gearknob.
However, it's the wheels that set this 350Z apart. Running 5×120 PCD adapters on the original 5×114.3 has allowed Ben to run these OEM BMW wheels from an E65 7 Series.
Ben needed two sets of these wheels to allow him to run a square setup of 19×10 on all four corners of his Z (The E65 wheels come in 19×9 and 19×10, front and rear respectively)
The rims are wrapped in 235/35/19 Falken rubber and the car is lowered on Driftworks CS2 coilovers with Kinetix adjustable toe and camber arms.
Simple but effective I hope you'll agree.
