    Wheels and disc rotors were a massive weight saving from memory. Unfortunately all the weights and photos were lost when the Australian and Singapore Copen sites went down :(

    I went with Take-Off CRF-08 magnesium alloy wheels (~3kg each) and two piece Take-Off rotors (alu bells with slotted rotors). Car handling and responsiveness was transformed.

    The carbon Bride seats also helped.

    I'm doing some wheel research, think I figured out the stock wheels are 7.4kg each. Minilite wheels are around 5.6kg each.

    That's a pretty good saving, especially on rotating mass.
