? You plan on taking off the doors and the trunk? If you want to be as fast as possible, you should change to 15" rims, spend thousands on the CF doors from Seibon and completely rip out the interior. Realistically I doubt that's an option if this is your daily driver, and more importantly, it won't make a 17 second car a 13 second car.

my 17s are considered light weight wheels and yet they weight 21 lbs
im saying some jdm wheels like bbs that weight around 7 lbs
and wtf doors ? if you really wanna make it light throw cf hood , trunk , remove carpet remove seats and only leave drover seat (bride seat)
but then yet im thinking your only going to be running low 16s maybe maybe even 15 's if its 5 speed and u know how to drive it good

My car broke 15's even before it was turbo'd. I removed all the seats except driver seat, removed all panels, ran short short ram intake and open DP lol, umm...jacked up my rear end and slammed the front, and my trunk was emptied to the bare metal lol. I already had the CF hood at the time. I'm forgetting some other things I did but with a good launch and decent shifting, it hit high 15's believe it or not lol. But it took all that just to break high 15's which is kinda sad when stock NA Hondas can do them all day without any weight reduction what-so-ever. Oh and minor bolt-ons.

^^lol of course. I was referring to more along the lines of the "sporty-er" Hondas such as ITR/GSR Integras, RSX's, Civic SI's, and maybe Preludes. An OZ is considered as the "sporty" Lancer but it goes nowhere near 15's stock. You are right about the lower end trims, though. I do know for a fact that an unswapped EF with its original D-Series motor is in the 20's because my friend ran his haha
