Just bought a Z and had nismo Lmgt4 on it, was wondering if they were real or fake or any way of telling. Also if they are real, I was considering selling them, what would be reasonable listing price. Thanks
i am going to say those are knock offs, everything that i see for real ones say forged monoblock on them, add to that, the stickers are on different spokes in every pic. if i remember correctly, if the valve stem is close to the ground, they are usually on the second from the top spoke going clockwise

Travlee and bealljk nailed it.^^^ Those are most likely Rota P45s or somesuch knockoff.
You can tell by the detailing of the bolt holes and the shape of the lug nut "cup".
Real LMGTs have "bullet shaped" lug holes inside of a tapered, saucer like "well" (recess); whereas the reps you posted have basic drilled holes inside of a flat non-descript cup shaped recess.
And, as noted, authentic ones also say "FORGED MONOBLOCK" and "MADE IN JAPAN" along with the spoke sticker on the 2 o'clock spoke (when valve is at 6 o'clock position).
Even the newer "Omori" editions carryover the same traits.
