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?

im not running wide for the hell of it 10 inch is the norm..with a low offset... i dont have to go as low of because of the width...like i mention earlier these dont weigh nothing..17lbs..there are 20bolts per wheel..other aftermarket rims will weigh alot more for the same size and width ...i will weigh the bolts that hold the wheel together...i could get lexan but then im going to get harassed by popo and not really in the mood for that when im on the streets ...im tinting the carbon parts so they wont be so obvious..trying to keep the car one solid color (low key is the game)...my is goal is to make the car is quick as possible with full interior and glass still attached to attract least attention...the only thing i replaced in the interior was the 2 front seats 88lb stock down to 30lb recaros i ready have fiberglass fenders, bumpers..and i dont know how im going to keep the supercharger..eventually im going turbo..
