How do I put the G on a diet

Hi all,
The G is a sick ride, but she is a little on the fat side.
I want to lighten it up, but don't want to give up the luxuries (hard to do!)
I know a light set of rims would help but don't know which ones (keeping it 18/19")
I got a CF hood...after I realized he hood is light already...
But what rims should I do and what other weight savers can you think of?

THanks!

most major thing to do is to get CF doors, take out spare/jack, and remove back seats. These will not make you lose luxuries but they will throw your weight distribution off and is unsafe (CF door)

I was thinking the same thing....then I saw the price!!!
Will forged rims make that much of a difference. What other makes of rims are light or Forged?

the only real option you have is to go for CF doors, fenders and rear hatch. Tons of people put CF hoods on cars before they figure out that the original hood is actually lighter (S2000, EVO, etc.) lol

theres not much weight u can shave off the G without taking off alot. CF fenders and trunks barely take off any weight and wouldnt make a difference
