If you don't value your life then cut holes out of your bumpers, not the bumper covers, but the actual steel support underneath....3" holes with a plasma cutter on the top and side and bottom, on both the front and rear bumpers and you'll lose a bunch of weight...

those are not light for their size

some rota C8's or subzeros are 4-5lbs per wheel lighter.

If you wanted a lighter car why did you get a Prelude?

j/k Sound dampering tar+ fire wall isulation = like 15lbs i think im not too sure tho...

you could also do away with P/S and A/C not much weight but takes some strain off the engine...

some rota C8's or subzeros are 4-5lbs per wheel lighter.exactly, my 17" Konig Traffiks were 15.9lbs while the 15" GTR is 16lbs, 16" is 17.5, and the 17" GTR is 19.5lbs. Think the subzero's are 14lbs even and my 16" subzero's are 14.9lbs but have a pair of 8.5lb. 15" SSR Comps sitting at home :)
