nsx type r was honda's first r mate.:nice:
 
CF bucker seats will shed a lot of kilos for a heavy price. But I think this mod shaves most weight without stripping the car.
 
P1 racing buddy club wheels are not that light, if you really want to go with the lightest wheel ...

go for the ssr spec c wheels, in 15"

If where you I will do this:

SSR spec c wheels in 15"

Light weight exhaust system (mugen, 65 pounds)

I'll buy some light weight seats, (recaro, spoon, bride) (oem recaros are like 40 - 45 pounds each)

After market exhaust manifold. 15 pounds, OEM manifold 28 pounds

SSR spec C Wheels, 8.5 pounds - OEM 15 pounds (and the most important this is unsprung weight)

Bride carbon kevlar seats, 9 pounds - OEM recaro 40 each

You can start with this, if your car is not a daily drive, remove the radio + speakers and air conditioner, with these you will loose like 50 - 60 pounds

Do the math :)
