First I have to say those wheels are drop-dead sexy! My top choice for a 370. I'd consider them for a 350 if (1) offsets were available and (2) I hadn't just bought LE37's in GB.
To answer the question, I think it's a couple things:
1. That style of wheel (different color lip) always looks smaller that a solid color. Also wheels with spokes that go to the edge of the wheel look bigger in diameter (i.e. the nismo wheels)
2. Even though the 370 is shorter that the 350, the hood and windows are actually higher off the ground . That's also why Nissan placed that large flat-spot around each wheel-well arch - to break up the otherwise massive quarter-panels.
The flat fenders creases are the only styling cue I don't particularly like about the 370, but then remember this car shares the same platform with the G37 which keeps costs down.
Still an amazing car for the price. I am going to wait and buy mine used in a year or two - and then buy these wheels if they are still available...
