Okay I found some Enkei RP-G for 281.00 a piece! They weight 17.0 for the 17 X 7.5 and 17.2 for 18 x 7.5

Nice rim for the money! It's a 5x114.3 48mm offset! Will these work ?

I'm not really looking for looks or handling as much, more on weight reduction and improved acceleration and braking!

Much better then paying 500.00+ for B BS! or Volks .. these
Enkei's are pretty much just as light... Now for the tires to match!

Anyone recommend a very light tire that is very high performance yet quiet ? haha

If your feeling phat and trying to loose weight, get a cf hood - thatll knock off a good 30lb - the rims.. dont buy cheap rims.. i see so many G owners on all these sites buying shitty cheap rims and its like.. you dont got a honda.. you have a luxury coupe G.. save money.. do it right.. buy nice wheels..

I think that my 5Zigen Fno1r-c are about 17.5 pounds 17x9.

Then I would go with the BBS which are 506.00 a piece! hmmm

I didn't think Enkei was a cheap cheap rim, they're not expensive, but for the money they're a good rim.

Are you looking for a R compound (track) tire or street tire? For a track tire I'm reasonably happy with the Toyo RA1s. They aren't the stickiest, but they do wear very well.

For the street I just put on a set of Falken FK-452s onto my SF-Winnings. I am exceptionally pleased with those so far. Very quiet and plenty of traction.

Stock tires weight in @ 24 lbs each, so if i can't some that weigh 21lbs that would be great! Unless there are even lighter ones! Falkens eh ? I had those on my previous car, good tire! Never had TOYO. Interesting...
