According to the EIX brochure the new Enkeis shaved off 1.32 lbs. That's each rite? New hollowed cams -2.2lbs. Mg Valv Cover -3 lbs. The Al roof and fenders should be the same as last year.
What does "Compared to conventional manufacturing methods." mean?

11lbs... oh noes !!1 it'll lose to older evos now....
must be all that fake carbon fiber
And losing rotational mass means a lot more than overall weight i.e. the trunk
Who cares, it's like we're going to keep the stock rims anyhow...

The '06 GSR Enkeis are supposed to weigh less then the '03-'05s but I don't know by how much.
