Go with 35 pounds and call it good....just like they have been since day one.

or you could try searching and reading the weight reduction threads here

there are d00000ds doin some really stupid and hilarious things to save an ounce or two

somebody has---I PROMISE...posted what you seek there

and we dont have to spoon feed then, now will we????

Truth.

Even if you were to go with those little lightweight ones, they come at the cost of cold starts. Most of us are better off keeping stock sizes. You're only saving 10-15 lbs. If it's not a straight up track car with other lightweight stuff, it's not worth it.
