Default MY350Z...I need your help finding some lightweight rims

Well, I've just about searched and searched, read dozens of threads, saw dozens of pics, and I just can't find what I'm looking for - and whatever I did find, doesn't exist anymore. So I'm asking for some assistance, I'm looking for:

Lightweight 18s (20lbs and less)
No Lip
No generic mesh patterns
Polished/bright finish
Stylish design

I have extremely peculiar and picky tastes when it comes down to rims. I don't really like any of the Volk offerings, WorkMeisters, etc. They're too racey looking for me. I love the OEM 5-spokes to death, but they are extremely heavy, thus I'm looking for something equally sleek. Just to give you guys an idea for my taste: I'm considering getting a set of four 18'' forged GT rims, or even Altima SE-R rims + spacers.

I also like the G35 Coupe rims. I like the SE-R rims (as mentioned), in addition to the GT-Z rims, the Acura TL-S rims, Wedssport RE005 & TC005, and Privat Zentralle.

I considered it during my search. But, ehh, it has a lip, and I don't like the spoke design. Doesn't flow well with the car, imo.

Huh? I have a 2006 - there is no Track model for us. My OEM rims are heavy, 28lbs front and 29lbs rear. You're thinking of the GT forged rims, which I already mentioned that I wanted (18s only). In any case, I don't like both Enkeis. One looks too much like Nismo GTs, and the other one has a lip - almost looks like a 16'' wheel with that design.

But, I'm definitely loving that AME Tracer! Very sick looking rim.

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
