I'm familiar with Japanese styling... oni kyan is not for racing of course. I understand that wheels are a status symbol. My point is that if you're running 11" wide wheels for the hell of it, why do you worry so much about a few ounces in wheel bolts? If they're rare three piece SSR's, get some bolts that look good and save the unobtanium for places that might make more of a difference- maybe fiberglass body panels or lexan windows.

I don't doubt that 86's are great cars. They are. But I can't help thinking your money and effort might be better spent elsewhere. If you're truly saving 11lbs. on the driveshaft bolts alone, it seems worthwhile. How much do the wheel bolts weigh?
