As for light wheels that don't cost a ton, I've been looking at Kosei K4Rs (as somebody just before me mentions). They're inexpensive (relatively) and light!
I am torn between those and the OZ Ultraleggera myself.

Edit: Or maybe it was the Allegerita?!?!?!?

What size you are thinking about or RPF1

Small as possible. Need to get brakes first though.

Oh, by the way... I chopped my rear "diffuser" off months ago.

Nice. What socket did you use to get your seats out? The 4 bolts holding down my passenger seat are being unreasonably difficult to loosen.

Last pic I took. Rear is all gone.

Mine were no problem at all. I don't know what size it is, but it was what I call a reverse torx bit.

I certainly like external Torx better than regular Torx. They don't slip as much, but they still allow for greater torque application than regular 6-point bolts.

Reverse torx e10. I'll see if I can pick one up today so I can get my seats and carpet out. Did you use reverse torx anywhere else? I'm not sure I'll be buying a full set as I don't use it for anything else.

Nope. That's the only ones I've encountered.

Cool. Will try a 12pt 5/16 when I get out of the office. Split an 8mm socket in half trying to loosen it on Saturday. It was ridiculous.

Wow! I've never split a socket in half ever.

I just looked at it though, it's an E-10. Which I guess you already knew, but now you know a second time.
