under 20lbs. 22 lbs is probably average for cast. 'Super light weight' often doesnt clear brembos or is not considered strong enough for the weight of our cars.

The Nismo LMGT4's are 18 lbs a piece for 18 inch rims. I think they are best rims out there for the price to weight ratio.

Ditto on the Nismos. You have to see them on the car to appreciate them. Especially on the rear. Almost everyone that sees mine can't stop raving about them.

The Volk TE37, LE37, and CE28 are all in the 18 lb range for 18s, and, in my opinion, look better than the Nismos. I did see a Z with the Nismos in Salt Lake City last month, however, and they do look much better in person than in pics.

I didn't take these pictures so I wasn't right there at the moment, but she is definitely looking at something intently.
