[QUOTE="SGL, post: 3764858, member: 4651"] I verified the seat weigths from the web site and they are accurate. 58 lbs driver leather and 40 lbs passenger leather. The Recaro Pole Position with sliders, aluminum brackets and custom floor mounts is ~25lbs. As mentionned above, there are substantial opportunities for weight savings in the wheels but... strenght is always a concern. The cheapo $150 aftermarket wheels have questionable strength. Slap racing rubber on them and I wouldn't sleep at night. The OE wheels are a known quantity but you sacrifice some weight savings. Then again there is always the $500 a piece custom wheel (Kodiak, Forgeline, CCW,....). In my opinion, anything that connects the car to the ground (suspension, brakes, wheels, tires) has to be bullet proof. [/QUOTE]
