I wouldn't call it extreme, but when I upgraded my wheels I made a deliberate effort to reduce the overall wheel weight.

I won't really know until the summer whether it made much of a difference.

Very nice. Does anyone know how much the "special lightweight" OEM HCHII wheel/tire combo weighs?

found a link of the car ...

looks nice even for today ... the interior needs a (japanese) restyling, and maybe a little better looking (color, brightness, led?) tail lights. The little fin one the back window is odd ... i wonder what it was for? The window in window is hard on practicality, but Lambos, SVX, etc have always sold. if Ford would make it with an advanced hybrid system I think they could sell it ...
