You expect me to know what TE and CE means without the name of company?
Andy: Nice rim, but that lip is too large for my liking.

So you think the OEM 5-spokes flows better with the car then the Nismo's

We are talking about the LMGTs, right? If so, then yes. Absolutely.
But omfg, say it ain't so: an opinion.

I guess I'm a little biased since I have the LMGT4's. Still they are some of the lightest 18" rims you will find for the Z.
opinions are like (fill in the blank), everybody's got one.
Good luck in your search, take your time and don't rush

No Lip? The TE, the CE, and the RE30 has no lip. You might just want to get that hubcap style wheel, like a shiny disk.

Any Volk Racing Forged Monoblock will do if you are looking for -18lbs per wheel... But so far my fav is RE30...

Falls under the mesh pattern, for me. Don't really dig it on a Z.

Volk TE-37's and Volk CE-28's. It's basically the standard for lightweight rims. New Volk RE-30's are light as well. Where have you been?! LOL
