Well, if you want to do it right, you just can't comprimise.. Which is why I know you will be happy with whatever you pick.

I think the CE's had the Mercury silver finish and the TE's had just a silver.. Which is why the TE's pop out a bit more.

just put some speakers, tweeters (4) and amp... sounds good. Hard part was to mount the speakers... only got chance to mount 3 speakers. On my way home it was skipping, my guess is that it was due to amp on/off switch.

And if you damage your wheels, you don't have to go to a counselor or worse, a lawyer.

Hmmm... I don't think there is one too close.. They have jewelry at Costco. I think that's the closest place. I didn't go there though.

I wanted to get the same wheels Ronnie has. They look so nice on the Z. The Z won't be touched for a long time now.. Just washes and waxes.

I've been looking for wheels for the last 8 months and so far the TE37's and CE-28N's are the only ones that even come close to what I'm looking for. I'm still leaning toward the TE37's. The CE-28N's have just a little more caliper clearance but a little more spokey than I like.

The AP BBK uses the OEM rear caliper/parking with the larger 13" rotor which means I'd have to paint the rear calipers. On the other hand, I like the AP BBK front caliper. But overall, I like the cross-drilled Brembo rotors and their rear caliper/parking brake design better.
I vote for TE37s (anyone suprised? ) and Brembos.
